Worm harnesses?

    andy, those are a mainstay for drifters and trollers at pymy.  not sure about using them in a creek though.  nice looking critters.

    Those look like the harnesses with the foam .
    They float a little higher than the ones with just beads..
    Some look to have glow beads also...
    Not sure if you can use them in a creek, never tried.
    Sure do work good off bottom bouncers for eyes at Pymy though...

    look like homemade harnesses... similar ones premade by cabellas or other stores would cost about $1.50 to $2.50 each... I've even seen them for more. You drag those around about 4 ft or so behind a bottom bouncer or even use a 3 way rig and you'd find yourself some eyes. I did cast and retrieve one similar once as a test on a small lake near lily pads, caught 2 small bass and an 18" pike... so other fish will go after them.

    lol....I just tied my 30th one of the year last night or I'd make you an offer...
    ...and my floats (as shown on yours) haven't even got here yet, I've just got the beaded ones done so far.

    You might be surprised if you throw those around some of your favorite crick holes with a juicy crawler strung up.
    I'd go with th 3 way rig vs the bouncer for fishing them in faster currents.
    You may even be able to rig the floaters drop-shotted and be effective.

    (just a note...I don't lose that many harnesses, some are a fathers day gift)
