Product Information
Full details
The Thinking Anglers Quick Splice Needle is an essential tool for carp anglers who create their own terminal tackle rigs, offering a reliable way to splice leadcore and lead-free leaders like Sub-Fleck with professional precision. Its extra-long, twisted wire design ensures a secure grip on materials, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced anglers looking to improve their knot strength and rig presentation. While the needle is highly durable, the fine twisted wire can be delicate, so users should exercise caution when pulling thick materials through tight loops to avoid bending the tip.

FAQs
Can I use these for standard monofilament?
These needles are specifically designed for splicing braided leadcore and lead-free leader materials rather than standard monofilament.
How many needles are in a pack?
Each pack contains 3 Quick Splice Needles.
Are these suitable for lead-free leaders?
Yes, they are fully compatible with lead-free leader materials such as Sub-Fleck.
How do I prevent the tip from breaking?
Avoid using excessive force and ensure the needle is guided through the material smoothly without twisting it against the braid.
Is this tool suitable for PTFE leaders?
Yes, the extra-long design is specifically recommended to provide a more secure splice when working with PTFE materials.
Troubleshooting
Needle tip is bending during insertion
Ensure the leader material is not being pulled through a splice that is too tight; dampen the material to reduce friction.
Needle snagging inside the leader core
Check that the wire is correctly aligned with the center of the braid before pushing forward to avoid piercing the outer sheath.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ideal for creating smooth, snag-free splices
- Works seamlessly with lead-free leader materials
- Extra length makes handling thicker leaders easier
- Supplied in a three-pack for excellent value and redundancy
Cons
- The fine wire tip can bend if forced through very tight splices
- Not suitable for heavy-duty metal wire work
- Requires careful storage to prevent the needle tip from snagging on tackle bags
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the needle, thread the wire through the center of your chosen leader material, attach the tag end of the leader to the hook of the needle, and gently pull it back through the hollow core. The tool is compatible with a wide array of leadcore and lead-free braids commonly used in carp fishing. To maintain the life of the needle, always rinse it with fresh water if used in silty or sandy conditions, and store it in the provided packaging or a secure tackle wallet to protect the fine wire tip from getting flattened or bent during transport.
