Stinger spoon question

[wakina]

wakina ive been following your post on harness and spoon rigs can i get more info id love to be more successful running down the eyes and seems that you have found a good system

"Spoon Harness's"

ebijack uses a system that is very similar to mine, he uses beads on the harness part of the spoon harness which I have not yet tried, when I tie more Snell's for my spoon harness application I am definitely going to include beads and give it a try. I feel that if you use his system that you could not go wrong. He also has a few more years experience(experimenting) with the spoon harness than I do. So a little research on his posts would benefit you tremendously.

My own personal experience with baiting is if you get to much weight right on the business end of the spoon, such as a night crawler on the standard treble hook the spoon likes to squat and just surf along under water with the backside up with little or no flutter, that is the reason I added the short Snell. I have also had better luck using the Wolverine Jr. Streak series of spoons as they are a little bit heavier than the Stinger series of spoons and they seem to react to the weight of the Snell better. Please keep in mind that I tied most of my Snell's with wire and not mono or fluro for spoon harness's and that adds some extra weight to the Spoon harness that probably affects the Stinger spoons more so than the Wolverine Jr. Streaks.

Keeping the first hook as close to the spoon as possible also helps with a higher ratio in the of number of hookup's vs's pullback's and the night crawler seems to add some lift to the spoon that counteracts the effect of its added weight.

Later today I will try to explain my choice on worm harness's but ask forgiveness for being unable to do so right now. I have to many irons in the fire with graduations, my Daughter's wedding this coming Saturday not to mention a boat that is in need of motor surgery before I can get out to fish this year. Some of those irons are in need my immediate attention in the next several hours.
