Ask Lance

How much are these "Premium, Pro Style Harnesses" going to cost me?

That's a great question!  If you buy our pre-tied premium harnesses through our online store they cost $3.99 each.  


Doesn't that seem kind of expensive?

Not really when compared to other lures in your tackle box.  Keep these things in mind about crawler harnesses:

  • Can be fished from 0.8 MPH to 1.7 MPH
  • Work great throughout the water column from the surface to the bottom
  • Allow you to change blade colors and sizes quickly and easily
  • Produce fish from late April - early November 
  • Can be retied for about 20 cents if the line gets nicked or chewed up by a fish
Crawler harness are one of the most versatile, cost effective lures you can buy (or make).  Stop using cheap store bought harnesses and step up to a quality product.  If you're stuck in a rut trolling plastic crankbaits, give live bait a try this season!
