Tying my own crawler harnesses - new post

[David Anderson]

I have also tied my own crawler rigs for 20 years or so. I have switched entirely to Tru Turn baitholder hooks with the downturn eye for snelling. More often than not the nature of Tru Turn hooks creates an almost immediate hook set with the hook almost always near the outside or on top of the mouth. Very few deep hooks although if they are really aggressive I will get some. Most of the time the fish sets the hook themselves.

It's a nice way to pass time during the winter months. Just hard for me to get fired up if I can't use them for another year! I don't fish locally because I'm spoiled from going to Canada.
