So what exactly is a needlefish lure, and surely a bunch of other lures work in a similar way?
Do you tend to concentrate on specific parts of the water column if and when you chase bass on lures at night?
How good did that feel! First cast after two weeks without fishing and I caught a bass……..
I am still whacking needlefish out and doing no more than winding them straight back in, and they continue to work just fine…………
It’s still the most extraordinary buzz catching bass in the dark on such simple lures fished in such simple ways
I can’t believe how excited I am getting these days about what are essentially “straight sticks” that do so little in the water, but to me needlefish are changing our bass fishing for the better

A very clever way of getting a rear hook into a soft plastic, and it works
It’s still bass heaven out here, and I love it even more
Finally, some “UK bass size”, off the shelf and not very expensive needlefish are now available in the UK - yippee!
Is it my imagination, or are there more and more lure anglers fishing for bass at night, and often catching more and bigger fish?
Do you think what bass are feeding on at different times of the year then affects how they hit your lures?
I’d like some needlefish type lures around the size of a 6’’ senko, perhaps a little heavier - what are my options here in the UK?
Found a few needlefish lures over in the US which should be a good size for our bass and the rods we tend to use
