Charter Grade Perfect Needle: 5" 2oz

The Hogy Needlefish is a classic design crafted with premium plastic, carefully balanced for deadly action. Needlefish-style lures are a tried-and-true method that many surf anglers swear by. These slender lures excel at mimicking eels, a favorite prey of striped bass. When cast from the surf, their streamlined design allows them to cut through the wind for long casts. Their effectiveness lies in their ability to mimic the subtle movements of a real eel.

Body Profile / Forage Match

Slim silhouette: Matches long, skinny forage such as sand eels, squid, silversides, and American eels that stripers and tuna target along shoal crests and current seams.

Swimming Action

Subtle rolling wobble: Tracks true on a steady retrieve, imitating a disoriented baitfish sliding across reef faces or through rips.

Distance & Delivery

Rear-weighted design: Casts extreme distances into wind, reaching breaking fish beyond the bar, across drop-offs, or on the far side of a rip line.

Build & Endurance

Through-wired construction: Saltwater-grade frame and heavy-duty hardware withstand repeated hits from large stripers, bluefish, and light offshore tuna.

Conservation & Sustainability

Hook One rigging: Single belly treble paired with a rear bucktail flag increases landing ratios while reducing release mortality.

Eco-friendly packaging: Delivered in recyclable, plastic-free materials that reduce waste while protecting the lure.
