Fished out of S.P. today boxed 7 , 3-7 #s Mostly on hatchet blades harnesses, bkl/rasberry; nuc. green (was best); blk/purple. dipsys & riggers did best. 60-68 fow west of abino. Beautiful day on the lake.

Fishkiller, nice article, congrats again. Do you by chance live on 77 near minkle ? I use to hunt that land before your house was there , shot a few deer off the hi spot to the n/east of the house. I think I saw your boat in the yard the other day, nice area.

Anyone else loosing their harnesses ? I have had 3-4 3 d,s lost & I beleive it due to the mono being cut by the spinner clevis cutting thru the mono, They seem to use the wrong type clevis & at the prices they get for them I think they would use wire instead of mono. I am goiing to try to contact them.

lineman- Last few times I was out I too lost a couple harnesses.No snags, no fish, just an empty line! Those big blades must really put some abrasion on the snell.I have not had any trouble with the big plastic clevis when I do my own rigs. I have boughten some almost as nice from a guy in Michigan $2.20 a piece) and he uses coated cable. I buy 2-3 for the same price as the D harnesses. I also had some of the finish come off on 2 of the D harnesses also.Good luck in contacting them. Hopefully they will give you a response.

I like using the metal leader worm harnesses so they don't break. Do you guys think one is brtter fhan the other for cafching fish? I haven't been loseing many fish with the metal leader harnesses.

Bailey, I do the same thing,useing 40# mono with diff. clevises, Do you retie with mono or steel cable? If cable what type/kind, size & do you use crimps or tie knots ? Thanks for any info.

All i'll say barry is that it has to be great to be retired. Glad to hear you had a good day out.

Just to let all you guys know Nicks Sporting Goods on Kenmore Ave. has a hugh stock of worm harness blades, and pre made harnesses in the store. I was over there today and picked up some blades. Roy has really rampped up his stock of walleye tackle in the last year. Remember to try to always buy from your local tackle shops. Oh and Barry it must have been all the good learnin I showed ya......lol

Its not the clevises its the beads chaffing the line I have complained to Jim Dolly about using mono line, as soon as I bring them home I cut them apart and tie them on 30 lb red coated wire and the new hooks they are using this year also suck. I use only Mustad 2/0 beak hooks (model 92553) in silver or red. As far as the finish they are using it sucks also but that Nucular Green works so good. 3D has always replaced them when I had any issues.
