I make them, I use #17 test mono, .046 mason plastic crimps. Depending on the spoon used as I have 3 sizes I use, just under 7 inches total length to under 8 inches for the "salmon" size spoons. And yes all 3 sizes have worked. I've run these along with dual spinner harnesses and still this year these have out produced BIG time for me and quite a few other boats. On erie and Saginaw Bay. I have tried gulp and plastics ( I always do), but real meat just blows away everything else for me. If I'm spending the $$ to go out, I'm going to have it all with me and what is working best is getting used. For me, no question meat will be hit before plastics during those times when your trying to figure out everything else when they are not biting hot and heavy. But that's me. Oh, and I have caught 3 walleye on the same nightcrawler 2 times and many doubles on the same crawler with these compared to harnesses. Where I don't believe I have ever been able to reuse a nightcrawler. Go figure... And you don't have to retye these like regular harnesses since the beads are not spinning due to a blade/quick change clip spinning them on the line causing wear. Note: it made a BIG difference keeping the hooks close to the spoon compared to when I had them farther away from the spoon, like I used to make them and had poor results. Also the beads between the hooks, NOT infront of the hooks or infront of the spoon.

I can only hope I have earned the freedom that has been given me.
