The Korda Baiting / Splicing Needles range covers every bank-side need. There are small needles for fine hair work. There are long needles for bigger baits and splice jobs. There are stiff needles for heavy materials. There are soft, flexible needles for delicate tasks. Each needle is made to do a job and to last. The full range means you can match the tool to the task. You will waste less bait. You will rig faster. You will produce neater, stronger rigs.
Why this range matters:
Different baits need different needles. Soft pop-ups need a thin needle. Hard boilies need a strong needle. Banding and baiting wafers need specific shapes.
Different rig methods need different tips. Splicing braid needs a hollow needle. Hair threading needs a blunt taper.
The right needle reduces bait damage. That keeps hook presentation neat. It improves hook penetration chances.
The full range gives you choice. You can pick the tool that suits your style and venue.
Design and build:
Hardened steel where strength is needed.
Smooth finished tips to reduce bait tearing.
Hollow needles for splicing braid and making neat loops.
Ergonomic handles for steady control.
Protective caps or sheaths for safe storage on many models.
A choice of lengths and diameters for small to large baits.
How to use different needles:
Thin baiting needle: push through pop-up foam and thread hair. Use short hair for small pop-ups.
Hollow splicing needle: insert into braid, pull core through, create tidy splices for leaders or loop ties.
Long needles: ideal for big boilies and wafers. They keep bait centered on the hair.
Stiff needles: good for hard, frozen or dense baits that need force to pierce.
Practical tips:
Wet the needle for sticky baits to ease threading.
Use a baiting needle with a bait band when wiring very soft baits.
Keep protective cap on when not in use.
Replace bent or blunted needles to avoid ripped bait and failed rigs.
Match needle size to hair thickness to avoid oversized holes.

Oil lightly if storing for long periods.
Keep in a dedicated pouch or compartment to avoid damage.
