So how are you changing your leads to the harness? I must admit here, that I have been fishing Erie for 30 or so years and during that time I have steadfastly stuck to artificials and had done very well, until recently. It seems for the past 2-3 years it is sometimes difficult to limit out unless you put some meat out there. I'm taking some serious ribbing from my buddies, but I am not too ashamed to change if it will put fish in the boat. So despite having much experience with spoons and body baits, I am a relative novice in dragging harnesses, hence all the questions. I really appreciate all the tips and techniques given on this site BTW.
