Baiting needle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baiting using the needle: at the bottom, a gorge hook is attached to the baiting needle, at the top, fully baited hook after the needle is detached[1]

A baiting needle is a tool used in angling to thread the bait onto the hook. It is shaped as a long steel needle with a sharp point on one end and a loop on another.[2]

Baiting needles are made in different sizes to match the size of the bait, named after small fish sizes, like "minnow needle"[2] for fathead minnow that is frequently used as a bait.
