Product Information
Full details
The Avid Re-Rig Fine Hair Needle is a specialized tool designed for serious carp anglers who require precision when threading small, delicate baits onto hair rigs. Its primary benefit is the ultra-fine tip that minimizes bait splitting, allowing for seamless rigging; however, users should exercise caution as the fine point is delicate and can bend if forced through excessively hard or dry boilies.

FAQs
Is this needle suitable for large boilies?
This needle is specifically designed for small and delicate baits. For very large or hard boilies, a sturdier or thicker needle is recommended.
Can I use this for threading stiff rig materials?
Yes, it works well with most standard hair rig materials, but ensure you are pulling the line through smoothly to avoid snagging.
How do I prevent the tip from rusting?
After use, wipe the needle dry and store it in a moisture-free area within your tackle box.
Is the handle waterproof?
The soft-touch handle is water-resistant and designed to maintain grip even when wet.
What is the best way to clean the needle?
Simply wipe the needle with a damp cloth after each use to remove bait residue.
Troubleshooting
Needle tip has become slightly bent.
You can attempt to gently straighten the needle with needle-nose pliers, but be careful as the metal may weaken.
Needle is difficult to pull through bait.
Ensure the bait is not too dry. If using hard boilies, pre-drill the bait with a standard bait drill rather than forcing the needle.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Fine tip prevents bait splitting
- Ergonomic grip improves control
- High-quality construction for durability
- Compact and lightweight for tackle organization
Cons
- Tip is delicate and susceptible to bending
- Not suitable for very hard or dried-out baits
- Limited to smaller bait types
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your needle, keep the tip clean and free from dried bait debris. When not in use, store the needle in a dedicated tackle box slot or sheath to protect the tip from accidental impact. This tool is compatible with most standard hair rig materials, including braided lines and stiff mono hooklinks. Always avoid using the needle as a lever or pick for undoing knots, as this can easily compromise the structural integrity of the fine point.
