Has anyone ever made there own craweler harness? I’ve always made my own snells for leeches, I need to make some for crawelers too but not sure with two hooks? Making 8 to 10 foot snells for mile laces. Thanks

Realy quite easy once you’ve done a few.
I tie all my own, with beads and spinners, and without.Here’s a coule instructional links that might help.

The first few take longer than the next 20. I tied about 150 of them in a span over the winter. Cheaper than buying them and it’s fun to come up with different combos of beads/blades. Links posted above should be helpful. Have fun.July 23, 2013 at 12:48 pm #1185015Check out the Jolly Roger Tackle website if you need components. I like tying my own rigs as well and they have everything you need. Actually the bead kits are on sale right now too. Since you are going to Mille Lacs I would recommend picking up the Firebelly and Nuclear Perch pretied harnesses.
July 23, 2013 at 12:48 pm #1185016I used to tie and sell harnesses on a web site and ebay. I tied about 80-100 per night. Took longer to put blades and beads on than actually tying the harness.
July 23, 2013 at 1:12 pm #1185031I tie all my own also. Wrap them around a swimming noodle. Store in a rubbermaid in the boat. 14# Flouro. I usually tie about 8′ leaders.

Give either Jolly Ann tackle a shout, or Cabelas sells some nice kits. Fleet farm also has a nice supply.
Much easier to get now days than a few years back.July 23, 2013 at 2:08 pm #1185053Quote:

Go to http://www.jollyrodgerstackle.com , they have excellant beads kits and blades.
July 23, 2013 at 2:56 pm #1185064I’ve skipped the kits and just bought the blades and beads from various internet and local stores. I like #2 hooks for my spinners/lindy’s.
llongPosts: 197July 23, 2013 at 5:11 pm #1185129Check out Joe okada’s YouTube video on how he does his. I switched to his method and dont need as many noodles. Just a box to put the bead setup in.
July 24, 2013 at 12:49 pm #1185293That’s really handy how he stores his beads.
I take a knife and make a small slit into the foam noodle for the line to sit in. That way, the only line that is exposed is from the swivel and the hooks. Also keeps the line from popping off the foam.Anyone have a picture or better video of how he kept those beads?
