The stubby needlefish is a great imitator for sand eels...but even more so, it imitates the surface wake created by almost every baitfish! We've found these to be very good lures when the fish are feeding over shallow water...they will cut a wake on top even at an appropriately slow striper retrieve! They make a wonderful teaser delivery lure as they cast very well and will keep your teaser right on top where it's easiest for gamefish to find it. Killer lure when bunker or mullet are being targeted, again, it's that surface wake with the slight side to side wiggle...the fish will blast these things in both rough water and on those dead mirror calm nights. For daytime/bright nights, the one with the lighter bellies...at night, the black or black and white can be great. These aren't rules, just a starting point, many times, the bass will clobber light bellies lures on the darkest of nights and will take all black lures under bright sunshine...they do this, I think to keep us guessing! ;-) 

Stubby needlefish - Think mullet and peanut bunker...and a Gibbs Stubby Needlefish is also a super way to get a teaser way out and keep it on top!
