New SP Needle /Darter

[finchaser]

Got to test the new SP darter/Needle fish IMO it casts (tumbles) and swims horribly compared to the SP minnow and Super Strike needle. Should be out by Spring of 2015

I read that they were coming out with that but have not yet seen any preliminary reviews. Thanks for the honesty as well finchaser.

It looks like the weight delivery system is in the bottom from the photo you posted? Does that weight transfer through the plug as you cast like with the mag darter or does it stay in one place. Thanks for the review. Its ashame. I saw a news item on that plug and was eager to try it on some fish. I guess the plug inventions can't all be as success full as the SP!

Stationary system which probably causes the tumbling

A little movement inside allows the plug to load/ cast better.So you probably hit the nail on the head Bob.

They look like skinny darters. Like a long skinny magdarter. Magdarters don't really swim either.

they are more a needle fish and Super Strikes work better IMO and just about everyone that swam them at the shop. They also sell like sh_t in 3 shops and most likely be discontinued
