Product Information
Full details
The Fox Edges Heavy Needle is an essential tool designed for dedicated carp anglers who frequently utilize larger boilies and high-density, hard baits in their fishing setup. It provides a robust, reliable solution for threading bait without the frustration of needle bending or breakage, though its specialized thickness may be overkill for delicate or very soft hookbaits.

FAQs
Can I use this needle for soft pellets?
It is not recommended, as the thickness of the Heavy Needle is likely to break soft pellets. A thinner needle is better suited for that task.
Is this needle compatible with PVA sticks?
Yes, it can be used to pull hooklinks through PVA sticks if the material is firm enough to accommodate the needle's diameter.
How do I maintain the sharpness of the needle?
Keep the needle clean and dry. Avoid piercing sand or gravel, as these can dull the tip quickly.
Is this part of a set?
The Fox Edges Heavy Needle is sold as an individual item within the broader Edges terminal tackle range.
Will this needle work with pop-ups?
It works well for hard pop-ups, but for very light or airy pop-ups, be careful not to exert too much pressure or you may damage the bait structure.
Troubleshooting
Needle is difficult to push through the bait
Use a slow, twisting motion rather than purely downward pressure to pierce the bait core smoothly.
Bait is splitting during threading
Ensure the bait is not frozen or too brittle; if it is, let it reach room temperature or check if the needle is too large for that specific bait size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your Fox Edges Heavy Needle, always ensure you are using it on a flat, stable surface if possible. When baiting, push the needle through the center of the boilie while applying pressure to the handle rather than the shaft. After use, rinse the needle in fresh water to remove any bait residue or lake salts, especially after fishing in silty or muddy waters. Store the tool in a dry tackle box compartment, keeping it away from sharp hooks or metal objects that might dull the tip. When not in use, ensure the tip is protected by its original packaging or a dedicated needle sheath to prevent injury and blunting.
