Fine Gated Latch Needle

Guru Fine Gated Latch Needle for delicate hook baits and PVA

The Guru Fine Gated Latch Needle combines a fine needle with a securely closing gate-latch mechanism. This allows you to pull a hair through soft or delicate hook baits without unnecessarily damaging the bait. The closing clip holds the loop during threading and helps prevent snagging.

In addition to baiting a hair, the needle is suitable for precise rig work and for threading a hooklength when filling PVA bags. This makes it a versatile addition to equipment such as the Guru PVA Speedmesh System. The bright orange handle stands out clearly among your tackle and is easier to find if you drop the needle.

Frequently asked questions

When should I choose a fine gated needle?

Choose this needle when you want to pierce delicate hook baits or thread a small hair loop in a controlled way. For very hard baits, pre-drilling with a suitable bait drill may be necessary.

What is the benefit of the closing clip?

The clip closes around the loop of the hair or hooklength. This keeps it on the needle while pulling it back and makes the point less likely to snag in the bait or PVA material.

Can I use this needle for PVA?

Yes. The manufacturer also states that the Fine Gated Latch Needle is suitable for quickly and accurately filling PVA bags and for other fine rig work.
