The Super Strike Super "N" Fish 5" 1.7oz Sinking Needlefish (Model WT5S) is a compact, high-density surf plug designed specifically for targeting gamefish keyed in on smaller forage. When Striped Bass, Bluefish, and False Albacore ignore full-sized lures in favor of bay anchovies, juvenile sand eels, or silversides, this "stubby" needlefish profile provides the perfect bite-sized match without sacrificing casting distance.
Molded from Super Strike's indestructible high-density plastic, this 1.7oz sinking model features a tail-weighted design that slices through stiff onshore winds and pierces dense ocean air. On the retrieve, it swims right below the surface film with a subtle, natural glide that triggers aggressive reaction strikes in heavy currents and ocean rips. Built around a continuous stainless steel through-wire harness, heavy-duty swivels, and premium VMC treble hooks, the 5" Sinking Needlefish stands up to the crushing power of trophy saltwater predators.
