With the Nytro Floating Needle, those days are overit stays bobbing on the surface, ready to be scooped up, saving you both money and the frustration of a mid-session tackle hunt.

Gerrys Pro Tip
If youre using particularly hard pellets or boiled baits, dont just force the needle through. I always suggest using a 1mm or 1.5mm drill bit first. While this needle is a sturdy 1mm stainless steel, pre-drilling ensures you dont split your bait or stress the quick-stop. And heres a real Gerry secret: because this needle floats, I often leave it sitting in a small tub of water on my side tray during the winterit stops the bait juices from drying and getting tacky on the needle!
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this needle work with all brands of quick-stops?
A: Yes. The 1mm diameter is the industry standard for quick-stops from brands like Nytro, Preston, Korum, and Guru.
Q: Is the needle tip sharp?
A: It is designed with a blunt-tapered tip specifically to push against the quick-stop without piercing through the side of the stop itself. It is a pusher rather than a piercer.
Q: Does it really float with the metal needle attached?
A: It certainly does! The handle is engineered with enough buoyancy to offset the weight of the stainless steel, so it will sit vertically or flat on the waters surface.
Q: Can I use this for hair rigging with a bait band?
A: This specific needle is designed for quick-stops (where the needle goes inside the stop). For bait bands, you would typically use a Bait Bander tool or a Super Fine gated needle.
