Tried something new

[Eyezcrazy]

It looks like its time for me to switch over to the hatchet blades. I've seen some of yours and am thinking about buying a wire bender and giving it a shot. Being able to troll at higher speeds would be nice.

If you use the wire you do not have to be as careful. The first post was mostly for those who tie the traditional harness on a mono or floro leader. The blade has to have room to move without touching the leader and it has to be able to spin freely or you will twist the leader. With the wire your swivel will be closer to the blade, beads and hook assembly making higher speeds possible. Still need a quality ball bearing swivel as necessary equipment.
