Black Pete Needles

The Black Pete Needles are specialized rigging tools designed for offshore bait preparation, leader construction, and other precision rigging applications. Constructed from polished stainless steel, the needles provide the durability and corrosion resistance needed for repeated use around saltwater. Sharp, tapered points are designed to pass cleanly through natural baits, rigging materials, and hollow-core line with minimal resistance, helping create neat, controlled rigging connections for marlin, sailfish, tuna, and other pelagic gamefish.

Available in multiple configurations for different rigging techniques, Black Pete Needles can be used for bridling live baits, stitching and preparing dead baits, working with rigging floss, and constructing wind-on leaders. Purpose-built eye and closure designs securely hold the selected rigging material during use, providing better control when completing detailed bait and leader work. Their range of specialized designs makes them useful additions to offshore rigging kits where different bait and line preparation techniques are required.
