Making / rebuilding worn harness'

[ebijack]

Yes the spoons are michigan stingers style in the many sizes and warrior spoons etc, the cheap stamped handlining spoons which are the shortest ( they are will under $1 each). When I snell I use 8 to 10 wraps around the hook then back thru the eyelet, put the hook around a pair of small plyers or snips and pull the snell tight while sliding the snell up to the eyelet with my thumb nail. Once done you can cut the line even next to the eyelet and it will not come undone, it's tight!

Ebijack, Michigan Stinger owes you some commission. I bought a few different spoons to try my hand with these harnesses, they should be here by Friday.

I also found out that they don't make any of the gold spoons ahead of time. Apparently, with gold being what it is and their cost to plate one spoon, they paint those as they're ordered in order to reduce cost. I ordered through Cold Water Tackle and they turn the entire order over to Michigan Stinger if they don't stock even one of the spoons on your order. So if you're ordering any gold plated spoons from them, make sure to allow for the extra time.
