FAQs
Can this needle be used with soft pellets?
While it can be used, the heavy-duty nature of this needle is optimized for hard baits. For very soft pellets, you may find it creates a larger hole than desired.
Is the handle waterproof?
Yes, the soft-touch handle is designed to withstand exposure to water and the elements.
What is the best way to store this tool?
Store it in a dedicated tackle wallet or tool tray to keep the needle point protected from damage.
Does it work with thick braided hair?
Absolutely. The strength of the needle is ideal for pulling thicker diameter braids through hard bait structures.
How do I ensure the tip stays sharp?
Avoid poking the needle into hard surfaces like rocks or concrete. Use it only for its intended purpose of piercing bait.
Troubleshooting
Needle tip feels dull or sluggish
Check for dried bait residue on the tip and wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Handle feeling slippery
Clean the soft-touch grip with mild soap and water to remove any bait oils or lubricants.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Avid Re-Rig Hair Needle, rinse it with fresh water after use in saltwater or muddy conditions to prevent debris buildup near the handle join.
- Storage: Keep in a dry tackle box compartment to prevent moisture accumulation.
- Compatibility: Compatible with standard hair-rigging materials, including braided hooklinks and monofilament.
- Care: Avoid using the needle to force open knots, as this can weaken the tip over time; use a dedicated knot-puller instead.
