The leader itself is gin clear fluorocarbon and we favor a little heavier and longer leader than most anglers. Because these harnesses never get close to the bottom, we tie up our own custom rigs using components unique to targeting suspended open water fish. The spinners we categorize as “open water” rigs are designed to be used on suspended walleye. These Yakima HammerTime Walleye Harnesses have become the author’s favorite in recent years. The foam leader boards produced by FishEng Products do a nice job of keeping walleye harnesses organized and ready for action. To keep things in our boat ship shape and the right gear readily at hand, we organize our spinners into four different categories intended for completely different fishing presentations.
The common walleye spinner or what a lot of anglers still refer to as crawler harnesses catch us a bunch of fish, but not all the harnesses we use are configured the same. Here at Fishing 411 we carry a lot of different spinner rigs for catching walleye.
