These are essentially a 7, but have the center needle drawn back about 1cm, to allow for greater ink flow through capillary action. They are soldered in what most would consider a straight or "traditional" configuration, and lay dense black lines quickly. the line size is similar to a straight 7. Great for sculpting lines and for coloring in tighter areas fast and efficiently. Their Textured needles make them a little more aggressive than our Straight liner series.

These are tremendous. Nice fully saturated lines. I experimented with pulling back the center pin years ago. It’s great to be able to purchase these. I like that I don’t have to deal with the burning flux all up in my nose, and frustration of pulling the pins around. Thank you guys for doing all the hard work, for us to reap the rewards. Well done.

I was skeptical at first about the difference between these and a normal round shader being the same...., but boy was i wrong it's like being able to line shade and everything else imaginable with a single needle super rad i can't say enough about them!!
Best needles I've ever used

It's nice to finally be able to open a box of needles and not have to toss half of them out. Consistent quality means one less thing to worry about. The hybrid needle is my go to for most set ups. Hybrid 6 or 8 and bugpin 7 and I'm good to go. Love the versatility of the hybrid groupings for both single pass lines and solid color packing.
