Needles, Drills, Crimpers, Scissors, Pullers
Welcome to the section where you can find all the essential accessories required for creating end-tackle, leaders, or for bait mounting.
Fishing Needles - Commonly associated with hair-rig bait mounting, but they're also used for threading leadcores or fitting PVA materials onto leaders. Needles are usually made of durable steel and come in various lengths and wire thicknesses. They are also categorized into latch and non-latch needles. The handle of the needle is also important, as it should allow for comfortable operation.
Bait Drills - These are used to drill a hole in hard baits, allowing for easy attachment to the hair rig using a baiting needle. Bait drills come in different diameters, from thin ones making small holes for the hair to pass through to larger ones, 6 or 8mm, which help balance the bait using cork or foam.
Braid Scissors - These are specialized scissors with serrated blades that prevent the braid from fraying during cutting. The scissors are usually compact in size to easily fit in a tackle box.
Pullers, Strippers - A puller is a tool used for tightening all kinds of knots made when constructing leaders or end-tackle. A stripper is used for the non-invasive removal of coating from braided lines.
Crimping Pliers - Used for crimping special metal sleeves that create loops on stiff leader materials. This solution provides a neatly looking loop and also eliminates the need to tie cumbersome knots.
