Crawler Harness

Mason was our first student to purchase a lure making session.  His favorite lake to fish is Leech Lake. His biggest fish he ever caught was a twenty-nine inch northern. In the photo above, he is learning to make the snell knot.  To make his crawler harness, he chose to use a 36 inch leader with 12 pound test flourocarbon line.  While constructing his harness,  he learned about selecting the hooks, hook sizes, and the advantages of colored hooks (he chose a red long shank and a red short shank octopus hook) Tomorrow, he will pick his bead colors, blade, and add the clevis. Tight lines, Mason!
