Fox Edges Bait Needles
SPLICING NEEDLE (light blue) is designed to neatly splice loops into leadcore or 30lb Submerge leaders. The needle features a micro engineered, hinged gate which closes to capture the fibres and prevents snagging during the splicing process. The needle shaft is constructed from ultra low diameter stainless steel and this makes the needle ideal for hair rigging small, soft baits without splitting or tearing.
STIX NEEDLE (dark blue) has been designed to make easy threading of PVA sticks directly onto the hooklink. It is also invaluable as a stringer needle and features a 135mm steel shaft with a hinged gate closure. This allows the hooklink loop to be pulled through the PVA stick without tearing or laddering the PVA mesh. The needle is set into an ergonomic, soft touch handle to make a durable and versatile baiting tool.
FINE NEEDLE The Fine Needle (green) is perfect for small boilies and particle baits.
HEAVY NEEDLE The Heavy Needle (red) is perfect for larger boilies and harder baits.
GATED NEEDLE The Gated Needle (yellow) is perfect for splicing 45lb Submerge and general hook baits.
NEEDLE SET (Pictured) Contains 1 of each of the listed needles.3 – Reward points -
