American Fishing Wire Bait Sewing Needles
The American Fishing Wire (AFW) Bait Sewing Needles are a go-to tool for offshore anglers who demand precise, clean bait rigging for trolling and live-bait presentations. Designed for durability and control, these stainless steel needles are essential for stitching baits to maintain a streamlined profile, helping your offering swim naturally and stay intact under pressure.
Versatile for Various Bait Sizes
Available in multiple lengths and diameters, these needles accommodate everything from small ballyhoo to larger offshore baits like mackerel or mullet. Whether you're rigging dead bait for skirted trolling or securing live bait for slow-trolling applications, AFW's bait sewing needles provide the flexibility needed to dial in your presentation for the target species.
Corrosion-Resistant and Built to Last
Made from high-grade stainless steel, these needles are corrosion-resistant and hold up well to repeated use in harsh saltwater environments. Their sharp points and smooth finish make it easy to pass through tough bait flesh without tearing, allowing for cleaner stitching and more secure bait retention.
Whether you're prepping a tournament spread or building rigs at the dock, the American Fishing Wire Bait Sewing Needles are a must-have in any offshore rigging kit—delivering dependable performance where it counts.
