Off Topic Worm harnesses

[fishing or farming]

Hey guys!!
Caught up on the farm and enjoying these summer hours. Been tying again and wonder what you think? I took some good advice from the pros here!

Those will catch fish.

I think they will not work at all. And to prove my point send me a bunch and I will test them for you.


Seriously nice work there, like others would love to buy some.

Hi FIshingorFarming. What is the action when 2 leaves are attached like that? Do they both spin like a propeller?

Most people i know only run a one blade harness, why run two when they only want the worm in the first place, the treble hook is good in central basin open water trolling. The treble hook in the western basin when fishing shallow or in rocks will hook up on a LOT of zebra muscles. My two cents.

Yes they act like a propeller. The spin is very uniform

I appreciate your comment. I am still learning the ropes but picking up good information. I always thought the 3 hooks were better than one. But you are right about he zebras. 2 Colorado blades on this rig add extra vibration in the water and more flash... that said they are a spring/fall bait because they need to be ran slow. I have willow blade rigs coming for mid summer when we speed up and those in my opinion should be ran in doubles because of the speed of the lure.

They look great. My only concern are the metal clevis. I found the they cut the line. Make sure you check your line for abrasions. Lost many fish. When I make mine I always use plastic found they don’t cut into the line

Thanks Rick. I found out the hard way today that shipping a #2 treble hook won’t ship letter, so shipping cost is package fee. So I can sell them only for pickup or ($10 shipping I know...) I am making more but 2 single hooks. I m selling them for $11 (cost to make are high) with 2 singles hooks they will cost $2 shipping. I am getting more supplies and will have some available in the classifieds here shortly.

Hi Finfish. That’s one reason why I like these clevises so much. The blade sits in a metal clasp but if you look closely the part the line goes through is made of plastic. Prefect I think.

I use 2 blade quit often .... but inline

Also found last year that my biggest fish on harnesses came on double blade or large willow blades

 

[Puddle Jumper]

I also make some with wire leader material

True couldn’t tell from the picture. I learned from my mistakes. They do look good.

Those look good sometimes I like a double float off the rig. The presentation makes the crawler twist doubling the action.
