 The DaHo Reverse Latch Threading Needles design came from Jerry Brown, a pioneer in the development of hollow spectra fishing lines. We appreciate his design as this product brings some unique features and ease of use characteristics that we try to provide in all our products. Below is a picture showing the ends of the new DaHo Reverse Latch Needle in detail:

In the past, one of the first tools available to work with hollow spectra lines were latch needles that originally came from fabric knitting machines. They are still used today, but our Reverse Latch needle is the only tool available that uses the latch mechanism as it was designed to be used - to be pulled through the line, keeping the latch mechanism closed by the line's internal pressure. Without our 'reverse' use of the latch mechanism, the old knitting machine latch needles have to be pushed into the hollow spectra lines causing to latch to open, and usually resulting in significant damage the line's fibers.

Many of the loop creation and splicing techniques require that a line be released by the tool, while it is threaded up another line. Normal loop splicing needles will not work in these situations as they cannot release a line from the loop.  In those types of operations, our DaHo Reverse Latch Splicing Needles allow the latch to open, releasing the held line, when needed. Also, since they are now attached to our standard 6" needles, so you can now make longer loops and splices without the limitations of the old latch needles. With our Reverse Latch needle, the latch is always the trailing end of the tool.

We are now offering three sizes of the Reverse Latch Splicing needle. The following table shows the details of the DaHo Reverse Latch Splicing Needles:

C3 Baits Ice Pick is another staple finesse plastics at our local lakes Castaic Lake, Pyramid Lake and Lake Piru. Not as narrow as a Shimmy on the head  it is more of a rounded profile down to a flat pin tail. 

The C3 Baits Ice Pick is also a buoyant 3 inch bait making for a very natural and light profile in the water.  Ice Picks are a bait that will catch fish all year long, with just a matter of changing the color and matching the hatch. Created with over 40 years of fishing experience at the same local lakes, John Petroski has dialed in each and every color on the water.

Every bait is hand poured/injected, packaged and delivered by the captain himself, John.  We have seen some of their most productive days on the end of a drop shot or a ball head jig. All C3 Baits are 100% handcrafted, made in the USA, here locally in Castaic, CA.

Kicker Pickle Kick Swimbaits PK-5 is a must-have for trophy bass hunters. Extensive testing with fluid dynamics provides a natural swimming pattern and weedless design, while its durable construction delivers a proven fish-catching action. Experience drawing power and take your trophy bass hunting to the next level.

What we like about it is the incredible action and great durability.  It's hard find a bait that will withstand repeated catches of calico bass and still be in near perfect shape.  Other plastic baits are good for one or two fish, but the Kicker Pickle Kick will withstand the most aggressive fishing day.  Tie one on, you'll see what we're talking about.

The Kicker Pickle Kicks PK-5 measures in at 5 inches and pairs up with a Warbaits Neckbreaker Jig Head just perfectly, as well as your favorite weighted EWG hook.

Recommended Hook sizes 4/0 or 5/0

The Mustad Heavy Duty Jigging Assist Rig is designed for heavy jigging. Featuring a heavy-duty wide gap Mustad hook rigged with high quality PE and Kevlar materials. 

The assist hook is connected to the top end of the slim jigging lure to improve hookset, as the fish often strikes at the top end. Another benefit is less snags because of the absence of the traditional tail treble. The assist hook is dressed in white tinsel to attract attention, creating a striking point.

These hooks were tested over a period of 2 years by Mustad's pro staff before they were launched. The Mustad Heavy Duty Jigging Assist Rig is ideal when it comes to rigging Flat Falls for those Southern California Super Cows.
