The Stix baiting needle has been designed to make easy threading of PVA sticks directly onto the hooklink. It is also invaluable as a stringer needle and features a 135mm steel shaft with a hinged gate closure. This allows the hooklink loop to be pulled through the PVA stick without tearing or laddering the PVA mesh. The needle is set into an ergonomic, soft touch handle to make a durable and versatile baiting tool.
