I have been making worm harness’s and spinners and jigs etc. for 60 years or so. Color does matter- but, the Color we see is not the Color the fish sees. In dark or muddy water that red bead is not red- it is black.. the gold is the only thing that the fish wil be attracted to- it shows that it is an attractant, like a small minnow.. thats it- in clear water, the colors show as we see them, unless it goes deep. So what we see is still important.. I’ve caught more fish on a basic worm harness- but with a whole worm. Just a pice of worm doesn’t seem to work as well. I have even caught them in 10 feet of water, hand lining, and going over a mile an hour, with a simple spinner, bead and night crawler combo.. thanks for the info- what ever works..
Thank you very much I can't wait to get out I just bought a new boat this year and am really excited to go out with my dad after years of fishing the head boats

Thanks for posting the video. I like that color combination, however, I do not recommend using bait-holder hooks, especially on the front hook. The line between the hooks will rub against that sharp barb and you will lose fish. I learned that the hard way. I recommend using smooth octopus hooks instead. I like size #1 or #2.
@@MrLilWaver6229 One particular trip to Erie we probably had 5 or 6 nice fish get away near the boat and we would get the harness back with only the front hook there. The line between was obviously frayed. I finally figured out what was happening . Since then, I only use them for the back hook, if at all. I also don’t use “quick change” clevises, because the spinners get caught in the net and go flying off into the water.
I’ve caught walleye in MN but have been striking out in Indiana with common jigging. I’m grateful for these videos as I am just getting into trolling. My only constructive criticism would be the sound effects. Mainly the water drop sounds are much louder than your voice with headphones.
Thank you for your comment and suggestion regarding the sound affects. Greatly appreciated. Wishing you some good fishing. As a notation... working on a series based on our eBook - "All About the Jig". Hope to have part 1 uploaded within a few days.

Most videos on youtube have been all about worm harnesses in the great lakes. I only fish the inland lakes. What is your favorite time of year/conditions to use bottom bouncers vs pulling the harness suspended for inland lakes?
Hello Brandon, thanks for taking the time to check out our video. Greatly appreciated. In response to your question... most of my fishing is at Lake Arthur in Butler County, PA. I first got into pulling harnesses on Lake Erie in July. On Arthur I would start pulling them after lake temperatures reach 70 degrees.
@@MrLilWaver6229 Well small world, most of my fishing is on Mosquito and Pymatuning. I was mainly asking the question because I am contemplating starting to pull harnesses this weekend because the walleye have been real finicky this year. Just wasn't sure if it was too early to try.
@@brandonoaks5354 Go for it. I like Pymatuning, it is very different from Arthur. More conducive to pulling harnesses. Everything depends on water temperatures and whether the walleye will chase a harness. Good luck.
@@tomsieczkarek3828 Always look forward to pulling harnesses on Erie in July. I usually go out on the head boats. Have to admit "sticks" doesn't ring a bell right now. will have to check it out.
Thanks for your having taken the time to view the video. I have to admit I don't understand the question. The video was made about two months ago. The worm harness was made about a year ago after experiencing that gold and red colors were the color of the day on Lake Erie.
@@MrLilWaver6229 Great video! sorry I was poking a little fun at the video quality of the video. Great information and helped me set up the worm harness! :) I also subscribed.
Awesome videos.

Thanks for your comment. Totally agree with you.
We bottom bounce them from shore and even cast and retrieve them from shore… with egg weights
Great video. Very accurate

On a double hook rig I also use Octopus hooks. When using bait hooks it is only a single hook rig.
Checked out your web site... nice collection of lures... impressive.
@@MrLilWaver6229 thanks!

On Lake Erie (we pull harnesses all year). But I will change to sticks in deep water in July. It’s a personal choice.
