Winter project

Although softwater is a long way from now. Cold blue bird skies are perfect days and nights for making tackle. So I started working on my variations of a worm harness. I haven't been able to work for a couple of years now, so this helps to pay for the fishing bug. I also use them heavily as a search bait in the boat.

Because I fish where there are lots of pike, I've opted for a coated wire vs. floro or mono leaders with lazer sharp hooks

Step 2 is the hardware, beads and blades.

Final step I add a modest bucktail streamer to complete the rig.

And of course the final end result.

They catch fish, and making them keeps me out of trouble

Great stuff Bruce! Wish I had the patience for that... but I don't.

I never used to have any time for anything. Playing with tackle sure beats watching most of the crap on TV these days. Even I can only handle so much WFN before I start twitchin :wacko::lol:

 

 

As to jwl's question. Yes I do plan on being at the Niagara show.

The ugliboy harnesses are the only thing I've seen Bruce use to drift a river with his ultralight uglystick and 6 lb diameter braid (not an ugli brand, lol) and he does quite well. Better than me since I'm always catching more weeds than anything. :blush:

Once in a while I do catch something worth while other than rockbass and back in the drink it goes for this elusive fish in some areas of our region. Not a biggie, but the stocking program seems to be doing well. The white pattern worked on this day and Bruce also has some tied up with trebles for pike bait. :thumbsup_anim:

Great job Bruce!!! I'll definately have to get a few of those from you :clapping:

 

We'll have to get out and try that walleye spot we've been talking about soon. :whistling:

 

I'm heading down there in a little while to check it out. I'll let you know the conditions a little later on ;)
