I usually just use a slow death hook tied to floro with a snell and a chartreuse, red or chrome bead above the hook. I have tied some with three beads and a Mack's Smile blade. They put a few in the boat a couple of weeks ago. I put a swivel on the other end of the leader to help prevent line twist. I try to use quality swivels, but have used cheaper one's and not had problems. I have also tied some like RPS described, tied the hook to a small swivel, the leader, beads and spinner blades above that. I can't remember if I've ever even tried them! I'll have to dig through my harness stuff next time I'm at Stockton and see if I can find them. I might have a tackle problem?

Tie the 3 way directly to my main line then I put a snap (not a snap swivel) on the pencil weight (pencil weights don't have a bend) and the leader. Then just clip directly to the 3 way swivel. Never had a problem with my leader or main line getting twisted.
