It comes in two finishes: the standard Needlefish Finish and the Needlefish Aurora Finish, which carries Yo-Zuri's aurora reflective treatment for extra flash. Three body lengths cover light-game work through to slightly larger predators, and the soft body flexes on the drop so the tail keeps moving even when the lure is barely being retrieved. Supplied as genuine Yo-Zuri stock in colours 039J (RB\/G76L) and 028J (Y-391).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlim needlefish \/ halfbeak profile for pressured fish and clear water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo finish options — Needlefish Finish and Needlefish Aurora Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree sizes: #1.5 (45 mm), #2.0 (60 mm) and #2.5 (75 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft body that folds on the strike for good hook exposure on light gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong, thin tail section that works on a slow retrieve and on the fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRigs on jig heads, light worm hooks, or as a trailer behind a jig or blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Fish It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlow straight retrieve on a jig head\u003c\/strong\u003e — Cast past the fish, count the lure down, then wind slowly so the thin tail waves rather than thrashes.
