Hey guys can anyone recommend a safe boilie needle?

 

I have used fox, drennan and gardner models, all with the same catastrophic results. :blink:

 

I have a problem with my hands, they shake uncontrollably in cold conditions and as a result, i have had to have no less than 5 needles removed from my index finger. I am affectionately known as 'hook finger' at my local A and E and its starting to get extremely embarrassing. :mellow:

 

Any input would be gratefully received. B)

Why don't you use a gated baiting needle?

Surely you won't ram that down the end of your thumb as it does not have a point or a barb on it at all!

Have to admit they are useless for rock hard baits but then you just have to predrill a few at home and keep them seperate from the rest of your goodies :rolleyes:

Why do you not drill them first then pick the baiting needle?

 

Should stop the pierced fingers.

 

OR THUMBS :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

Fishing seems to be my favorite form of loafing.

I know the joy of fishes in the river through my own joy, as I go walking along the same river.

 

What do you think if the float does not dip, try again I think.

Gated needles are safe, so are the Korum needles. Sold in packs of 2. They are small and rather flexible, more suited to baiting up soft baits on a hair but are also suitable for mounting drilled baits such as pellets and boilies. :)
