Product Information

Full details

The RidgeMonkey RM-Tec Nite Glow Needles are designed for serious carp and specimen anglers who require precision tools for baiting and rig construction. This five-piece set provides a versatile range of needles that simplify baiting tasks in both daylight and low-light conditions, thanks to the integrated Nite Glo handles. While the set is comprehensive, users should be careful to handle the fine tips with care, as the precision nature of the splicing and braid needles makes them susceptible to bending if forced.

FAQs

What needles are included in the set?

The set includes a Braid needle, Boilie needle, Lip close needle, Mini stick needle, and a Splicing needle.

Do I need to charge the Nite Glo handles?

Yes, for maximum glow intensity, expose the handles to light before your session or during the day.

Are these needles rust-resistant?

They are designed for fishing environments, but we recommend keeping them dry and clean to prevent oxidation.

Can I use these for PVA string?

The Mini stick and Braid needles are excellent for threading PVA components.

Are the needles interchangeable?

No, each needle is permanently fixed into its respective colour-coded handle.

Troubleshooting

Needle tip feels blunt or sticks during use

Check the tip for debris or bait residue; clean with a soft cloth and ensure the bait is not too dense for the needle gauge.

Glow effect is dim

Expose the handles to a bright light source, such as a high-lumen headlamp, for a few seconds to 'charge' the Nite Glo material.

Lip close gate won't stay closed

Gently ensure there is no sediment trapped in the hinge; do not force the gate open beyond its natural range.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-visibility handles make night fishing effortless
  • Soft-touch rubberised inserts provide a non-slip grip
  • Covers all essential rig-making functions
  • Compact and lightweight for easy storage in tackle boxes

Cons

  • Fine tips require gentle handling to avoid deformation
  • Plastic handle construction is not as durable as full metal tool sets
  • The glow intensity fades over long periods in pitch black

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These needles do not require specific setup—they are ready to use immediately out of the pack. To maintain their longevity, ensure you dry the needles thoroughly after use, especially if they have been exposed to salt water or damp conditions. Store them in a dedicated tackle box slot or pouch to prevent the needle tips from being snagged or bent. When using the Lip close needle, ensure you are not overloading the mechanism to avoid snapping the fine closing gate.
