A baiting needle is a tool used in angling to thread the bait onto the hook. It is shaped as a long steel needle with a sharp point on one end and a loop on another. [2]

Baiting needles are made in different sizes to match the size of the bait, named after small fish sizes, like "minnow needle" [2] for fathead minnow that is frequently used as a bait.
