Curt0407 Extreme Angler Registered: 06/27/09 Posts: 2167 Loc: Arlington	I went to hobby lobby and bought the thin knitting needles. I use them almost all the time now. Like them better than the store bought baiting needles. They are not as sharp and may be more difficult to use on hard maize. _________________________ PB-common 23 lb 4 oz PB-grasser 19 PB-buffalo 37lb 13 oz PB-koi 10.3 PB- blue cat 14.9 .....2012 Totals: Carp 3 Buffalo Catfish 5 Bass 11 Sunfish
