Harnesses

Very interesting. So how have you been connecting the hooks? I wonder if a snell with an oversized loop could be used. Put the loop through your eye and run the rest of the snell through the loop.

Small snap sometimes a crimp. Crimps work better as you can get the hook closer to the bead blade assembly. It is hard for me to tie a knot that keeps the snap and hook close enough so the first hook remains close to the bead blade assembly. The snap allows for a faster switch from one harness to another. I like this set up because I can just unsnap the harness or spoon then just snap on a different one and go back to fishing and not have to wrap the long leader around anything then store the removed harness. I just hang these short harnesses up to dry then store them when back at the dock. I think I will try your idea on a couple and see how the Snell holds up. If they last for awhile I will probably use that idea for attachment on all of my harnesses once I have used all of my old style ones.
