Needle Guns is Stock Lures' thirtieth-anniversary rod, wrapped along its full length in holographic film that flashes in sunlight. It comes in two blanks: a 5'8" carbon (about 5'7" once the short ferrule is fitted) with a fast taper for all-round pinpoint casting, available in Aurora and Laser hologram patterns, and a 5'6" S-glass build with a regular action in a Crystal pattern, using a glass the maker rates at roughly 1.8 times the strength and modulus of ordinary glass. Both carry Fuji guides and are rated for quarter-ounce to one-ounce topwater lures.
