Black Pete Game Fishing - Tubular Dacron Splicing PIPE NEEDLES

316 polished stainless steel needle for shooting nylon monofilament or fluoro carbon up dacron with ease. One end of the needle is hollowed out to take the end of the mono or fluoro carbon. The approximate I.D. of each needle is given below, also which size needle best fits the nylon monofilament leaders that we stock.  

N.B.  Leader diameters vary according to brand. Contact us if you are unsure what size needle to order.

Tip: If the pipe needle is slightly too large for the mono being used, cut the end of the mono to leave a burr & if that isn't enough to hold it in, apply a minute dab of loctite on the end of the mono.  If the mono is slightly too large cut it with mono cutters or a stanley knife to form a taper, then push the tapered end firmly into the pipe needle.
