Set of pipe needles and dacron loop needles for making your own light or medium tackle wind on leaders from specialist game fishing tackle supplier Black Pete Marine.
There are 10 splicing needles and three pulling needles in the set, with diameters suitable for making up casting wind-ons for barramundi fishing, right through to wind-ons for use in Cairns heavy tackle marlin fishing. The splicing needles are hollow all the way through to the point, so there's less likelihood of the mono slipping out mid-splice, which can happen with other brands that are only hollow for part of their length. The points are also rounded so they are less likely to keep poking out the side of the Dacron as the needle is slid up inside, potentially damaging the weave and creating a weak spot. The needles are made in the US from medical grade stainless steel, and come in a protective leather pouch with a Velcro fastening.
