Check here first there was some on this site cheep. It was to much to ship for me.

Harnesses are quite easy to tie and good components are easy to find. Most of the pretied stuff I see at Dicks isn't really suitable for anywhere where there are decent walleye...the hooks and line are suspect at a minimum. The first cheap ones I ever used here on Otisco got tore up and shredded with each fish. They worked ok at best for 1 fish. Tie or buy with a quality flourocarbon like Seaguar or bloodrun and wide gap walleye hooks from vmc or the like...as for used or old harnesses...worse yet... I make them up when I plan on using them and tear them down over the winter or whenever damaged and save the hooks, clevis, and blades. Good walleye are too hard to come by to use anything but a quality flouro leader. If you were closer I'd tie you a couple for nothing...

Dylan what do you need bud? What size bouncers and what lake are you fishing? What size blades and harness and where are you located?

[potsie225]

I have some bottom bouncers 2,3, and 4 oz. $5 I live in Greece near dicks and the mall.

Tie up some ultra death rigs with smiley blades, they have the slow death rigs but you reall want is the ultra faster spin and the max smiley blades kick ass, or a #4-5 deep cup Colorado blade with # 4 gamatzu circle hooks. I like the 3 hooks because when I fished Erie it was all about how strait the worm was and hook the worm as far front on the nose of the worm, so non like fold back. I don't know if it's a hardened fact but I only use red hooks.

I'm all set now guys. Thanks for the help and advice

What pound line do you use for your harnesses? I use 14, but I've seen some guys go as light as 8.

[justtracytrolling]

Seaguar premier 15lb, which at 011 inches is just under 10lb diameter and I'd go 20lb if I were gonna be dragging structure and that line is just over 10lb dia at 015

Excellent, thank you. Yes, increasing line weight for structure makes sense. I will give 20lb Seaguar a try. I've been using Berkley and P-Line.

[justtracytrolling]

The Seaguar blue label is excellent also but a bit thicker diameter for each line weight and cheaper. I think the Seaguar abrazx flouro mainline would work well too and cheaper yet.

I use 20# fluro, the straiter the presentation the better, plus like Justin mentioned you can pull a tank through the rocks with no problem.

[EsoxAC3]

15-20# seaguar... Is the ticket. Heavy zebras and structure I use the 20. 15 works well in most cases for me though. I just keep an eye on the condition of the leader.

[LakerTaker]

Thanks guys. Great info.

[justtracytrolling]

Yeah definitely keep an eye out for nicks...the Seaguar is great stuff but it isn't wire.
