Ouch!!!!!! looks way too bulky, but a good start, we need to talk E-me

[Cmefish24]

should i buy smaller beads to make it less bulky, how do you make weapons. thanks for the advice.

that size of bead is fine for 2 hook harnesses or later in the season with large cupped colorado blades, you also have the wrong blade, pictured is a blade found on most weight forward spinners, not a computer genius here but will try and get some pics posted..check some of the posts lower on this page.....

I know you can't see all the beads, but on this harness they are mostly green on this harness. #4 and #5 blades are average sizes though I do have from #00 to #8 to cover the many way's I use harnesses. This is NOT a weapon, it's just something I've been playing with. 1oz inline with a short harness. It will just give you an idea on how to tye your harnesses. I keep all my harnesses rolled up on a foam noodles with a 3/4 oz jig stuffed into the end so they won't blow out of the boat. If I get a chance later I'll make a weapon harness and get it posted.

Ok, here's a weapon, for running a full crawler. When you switch to the mayfly type, you use 3 to 4 beads, a #2 or #3 blade typically in brown/gold shades w/1/2 crawler.
