It seems that was a common occurance last year, people who used harnesses also were complaining they were losing fish at the boat, some switched to single hooks on there harnesses and that corrected the problem but they then complained about fewer hookups vs pullbacks after changing to the one hook harnesses. So I think there is another under laying problem! I was losing way to many blades on my harnesses last year, the eyes were striking the blade and hanging on and at the boat open their mouth and the fish was gone and the blade would go flying as it was pulled out of the quick change clevis. I switch to the metal clevis and have not lost another blade that way since, but still lose fish right at the boat or just behind it, probably for the same reason.
