As you may well know, the Smitty’s Latch and Needle tools have always been the best on the market.  Veteran Fishermen demand the best and with the Smitty’s Latch and Needle kit, that is exactly what they get.

All of Smitty’s Needles are made from Medical Grade 304 Stainless Steel tubing.   It is thoroughly cleaned on the inside and out to guarantee it is bur and debris free.  There are four different standard wall thicknesses of the 304 Stainless Steel tubing available. Since our customers demand the best and the most durable for their hard earned money, we use the thicker wall thickness which has proven to be the best and strongest on the market.  Our competitors went with the thinnest wall in order to save money on their part, thus making a weaker tool. Veteran fishermen will tell you, “There is nothing worse than having a tool break or bend at the start of a long trip”.

Each of our needles are hand-made. The tube’s points are welded, ground to a slightly rounded tapered point and the entire needle is highly polished; all by Smitty himself.  Each and every needle is then inspected to ensure that it is bur and defect free. They are designed to thread through the hollow spectra line with ease, whether you thread it through the end or go through the side-wall itself, the point will not snag or damage the spectra line.  

Due to the literally hundreds of different lines on the market today, all with a different dimension or physical size, usually referred to as OD, we have selected a variety of needle sizes and given all the dimensions so the Angler can be sure of the very best tool for the job at hand.

Accept no substitute.  The Smitty’s Latch, Loop and Splicing needles have been proven over and over to be the best on the market.  Many try to copy or imitate, but none meet the proven record of Smitty’s.

All of Smitty’s products are covered for life.  Our competitor’s only offer a year.  If, under normal wear and tear, a Smitty’s Needle is bent or broken, it will be replaced for free. Just send us the needle first!
