DaHo - Hollow Spectra Threading Needles

The DaHo Hollow Spectra Threading Needles are designed for joining monofilament or fluorocarbon lines to hollow spectra braid. These needles are hollow except at the tip, allowing the mono/fluoro line to be inserted into the needle and then threaded inside the spectra braid. For optimal strength, the needle is typically threaded 3-5 feet into the spectra. The connection is secured by finishing the spectra’s end with glue, serving, crimping, or a combination, to prevent slipping before the braid compresses around the line.

Features and Sizing:

• Length-Based Identification: Daho's needles are sized by length for easy selection:
  • Smallest size (10-20#) is 5.3" long.
  • Each subsequent size is 0.1" longer, up to 6.5" for the largest size (400-500#).
• Internal Diameter (ID): The ID determines the line size the needle can hold.
  • Choose a needle with an ID at least 0.002" larger than your monofilament/fluorocarbon line for ease of use.

Line Compatibility:

• Check your monofilament/fluorocarbon line diameter on the spool or manufacturer’s website.
• Select a needle that matches your line size with 0.002" extra space.
• Avoid using a needle too small for your line, as trimming the line to fit can be difficult.

Manufacturing Advantage:

DaHo needles use thin-walled tubing to maximize the internal space for mono/fluoro lines while keeping the overall needle size minimal. These are the thinnest threading needles available, ensuring precision and ease of use.

Specifications:

 * Remember that the ID sizes of our threading needles can vary up to .002″ due to the tube manufacturing process. It is recommended that you select a needle that is at least .002″ larger than your line for ease of use. It can also be difficult to fit an exact size of line into a needle. If you have a problem with your line not fitting into one of our needles, please send us an email and we will analyze and resolve the problem.
