Ridgemonkey Baiting Needle Set Review


Editorial Review: Ridgemonkey RM-Tec Needle 5 Piece Set – A Trusty Tacklebox Essential

The right tools can make all the difference, and the Ridgemonkey RM-Tec Needle 5 Piece Set is a prime example of gear that quietly earns its place in your tacklebox—and stays there. Having used this set consistently for two years, I can confidently say it delivers both quality and durability in equal measure.

Straight out of the packaging, the RM-Tec needles impress with their sturdy construction and ergonomic grips. Each of the five tools serves a distinct purpose, from baiting to splicing, making it a genuinely versatile kit. The variety also saves space and weight, a small but meaningful perk when you’re lugging gear to the bankside.

What truly sets this set apart is its resilience. Over two years of frequent use, not a single needle has bent, snapped, or underperformed—a rare feat considering how fragile and disposable most baiting tools can be. Whether you’re threading through tough boilies or working with finer rigs, these needles handle it all without complaint.

Ridgemonkey’s design also scores points for being straightforward and user-friendly. The color-coded handles help identify the right tool at a glance, and the non-slip grip is a small detail that makes a big difference, especially in wet or muddy conditions.

Best for: Anglers who value reliability, durability, and functional design in their tackle.
