FAQs
Can I use these for pop-up boilies?
Yes, the 1.0mm needle is ideal for piercing pop-up boilies without ruining their buoyancy.
Is the drill suitable for hard-boiled tiger nuts?
Yes, the 1.5mm drill is specifically designed to create a pilot hole in hard baits to prevent them from splitting.
How do I clear a blockage in the drill?
Use a thin wire or a small brush to gently remove any debris trapped inside the drill bit.
Are the barbs removable?
No, the barbs are integrated into the design to ensure the hair loop stays securely on the needle during the baiting process.
What is the best way to clean the tools?
A quick wipe with a damp cloth followed by a dry cloth is usually sufficient. Keep them free of grit.
Troubleshooting
Bait splitting while drilling
Ensure you are using a slow, consistent rotational motion rather than pushing directly with pressure.
Needle tip feels dull
Check for debris buildup in the tip and ensure you are not piercing hard, abrasive materials that can blunt metal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These tools are compatible with all standard hair rig configurations and most commercially available hookbaits. To maintain the life of your needle and drill, avoid storing them loose in your tackle box where the tips can get crushed. Use a dedicated small tackle wallet or a protective case. After use in damp conditions, ensure both the needle and drill are wiped dry and lightly oiled if stored for long periods to prevent corrosion. Keep the tips capped or protected when not in immediate use to maintain their sharpness.
