The Eel Cream Baiting Needle is a celebration of craftsmanship, individuality and attention to detail. Created in collaboration with Lewis Smith Customs, this exclusive limited-edition piece has been handcrafted in the UK for anglers who appreciate products that go beyond the ordinary.
Designed to perfectly complement the Eel Cream range of hookbaits, every baiting needle has been individually handmade from start to finish. Produced in extremely limited numbers, only 50 pieces will ever be made, with the first release consisting of just 25 needles. Once they're gone, they're gone.
Each handle begins life as a bespoke epoxy blank, created using a unique blend of washed pink and white tones inspired by the colours of the Eel Cream collection. Every blank is then individually turned by hand on a lathe by Lewis Smith before being carefully shaped, finished and polished to achieve a smooth, premium feel. Due to the handmade nature of the process, no two handles are ever identical, making every needle a genuine one-off.
Adding to the premium finish is a solid brass end cap, laser engraved with the iconic Wofte logo. The brass detailing not only provides a timeless aesthetic but also adds weight and balance to the tool, creating a piece that feels every bit as special in the hand as it looks. The combination of polished brass and marbled epoxy gives the needle a distinctive appearance that perfectly reflects the character of the wider Eel Cream range.
While undeniably collectable, this is still a tool designed to be used. Fitted with a super-strong, ultra-sharp baiting needle, it is perfectly suited for threading hookbaits such as Eel Cream Pop-Ups, Eel Cream XL Tiger Nuts and other particle or bottom bait presentations. Strong, reliable and built to last, it offers the performance expected by serious anglers while retaining the charm of a handcrafted piece.
Whether purchased as a functional bankside tool, added to a collection of unique angling memorabilia, or given as a thoughtful Father's Day gift, the Eel Cream Baiting Needle represents something increasingly rare in modern fishing tackle — a genuinely handmade product with a story behind it.
Built by hand. Made in Britain. Limited forever.
