manitoubass2 Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 If your ever out of quick change clevises, hit up any craft store for these. I just tried them out, and they don't work quite as well, there abit heavier too, but the blade spins very good and is very easily changeable. You'll never lose a blade either. What are they? I'm not sure, I think there for earrings??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleheader Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Been tying for many a year. Just ran across this tying techique that might be of interest to some. It's faster than my technique anyhow. http://www.walleyeworkshop.com/node/154 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Is King Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Great thread!! Thanks for sharing! Lots of awesome looking harnesses here! I've bought a spinner kit from luremaking.com a couple of years ago. I really enjoyed making those. I've wanted to get into the harnesses but time is the issue. After this tread I think I have to make some time!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeyfish Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) I use worm harness for pickerel and in the spring use them in shallow water and you never know what is going to hook on. My question is how do you store these crawler harnesses after they come out of the package. I hate a tangle mess. This December I made worm harness holder which holds some bottom bouncers and got some clear tubing to try a second method. I think these are going to work, but as always looking for a better and easier way Edited January 27, 2012 by Mikeyfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is like a uni-knot and the other is a new one that I have yet to test for strength. I use eyeless hooks a lot. I get them from Europe and they are simply fantastic. I may use a small tube to make a real snell knot but finding a tube small enough may be a problem. I have a hypodermic needle that would be perfect for line under 6 lb test. I could use a small nail like when I make a nail knot on a fly line but on a tiny hook, it would take too long to tie....too easy to mess up the knot.

10point Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hi Guys, I just learned how to make these last year. I got a kit from Cabelas and caught a few fish on them up at Dog Lake. I fished them using mostly a 5/8 oz walking sinker. Is that a good way to do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oggie Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) I found the bottom walkers with the long wire much better at keeping me out of the wood. I lost too many lindy rigs trying to get a feel for the bottom. Dan O. Edited January 31, 2012 by Oggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I feel ya but Mike Gofron makes a living catching fish so I'd have to say if he trusts the knot it must be pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Gofron's is the same knot I use and I've never had any problems with it...ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
