worm harness
« on: Apr 05, 2008, 03:44 PM »
I decided to start to try and make my own worm harness rigs.  I was curious as to what pound test line i should use.  I was thinking somewhere around 10 to 15lbs, any tips or suggestions would be of a great help.  Also any particular spinner and beed color combo that the walleyes tend to like?

I have been using 8lb flourocarbon... seems to work good and just keep an eye out for abrasion. Use quick change clevises on them and you only have to make a dozen to last a long time.....I make several of different color beads.
 Good Luck this year.

Seeing as how most of my fishing is done where there are big walleye, I generally use 17# flouro to tie my meat rigs.

Like the others have said , line size all depends on where ya fish. In Erie I use at least 15lb. I also changed from 2 hooks to 3 ( for those short strikers) I would also make a couple of each color combination....they remind me of salmon some times when all they want is a particular color. When I start fishin I will drop down diff. colors to see what they are in the mood for and generally they will like 1 over the others. Just a couple things that work for me. Best of luck this season to all.  Bob

While you're at it, rig a big black or brown bucktail jig with about a 6 inch piece of 8 lb test and a size 4 red lazer stinger hook for the tail end of your worm. Sometimes bouncing a heavy jig off the bottom is more temptation than they can take. G'Luk!

I use 14 to 20 what ever I have, put a #12 treble hook on the back for a stinger. Check out you tube there was a video on how to make them

I use 12 pound flouro with a quick change clevis. I've found this is heavy enough for big walleyes(i mainly fish henderson harbor area).
