Location: Menasha, WI | Dan, I noticed that you don't have a bead in front of the blades on your harnesses. Is there a reason for that omission or is it just the way you've always done it? I always have a bead in front of the blade...I vaguely remember reading somewhere that it would help deflect flotsam.

Location: Essexville, MI./Saginaw Bay. | I usually make some that do and some that don't. Run the ones with the bead in front usually after a BIG wind, when the water column is full of floating broken weed bits. Being these are the first harnesses I ever tied with smile blades, I wasn't sure how or rather doing so would effect the very light plastic smile blades adversely or not. Thought it better to be safe then sorry. I used 15# coated wire, so I'm hoping that also works with the smile blades. Might try running them tomorrow in the river behind bouncers on our way out to the Bay.

Location: Manitowoc, WI | Nice rigs Dan! Don't forget to take a look at the new Slow Death Smile Blade rig. Putting a bead in front of the Smile blade should not affect it. However, I usually do not in case I want to slow down to .5 or .8 mph for the finicky ones.
