Is the needle a 12g with two holes at the end??

Best of luck to you. I think nocturnal is the way to go.

I feel so much better on nocturnal. The difference is night and day!

12 g.... My god NO!!!! LOL 15 are big enough... Nope it is a 15 with a backeye on it and it just has two lines attached instaed of the one.

If I can figure out how to post a picture I will tomorrow after school., So if anyone has any pointers on how to add a picture that would be great., oh and I think I need to know how to resize it as well, my camera is 8.0 mp, I think that will be too big of a picture.
