Northland Tackle BFBH1-MG Butterfly Blade Harness — 66in Snell Leader, Metallic Gold

Overview

The Northland Tackle BFBH1-MG Butterfly Blade Harness is built for flexible bait presentation and responsive action. Crafted from durable polycarbonate, it remains lightweight for extended casts and retrieves. The metallic gold blade catches light and adds a touch of flash, helping your lure stand out in a variety of water conditions. With a long Snell/leader length and two blade sizes, this harness supports precise depth control and adaptable jigging styles. It also enables slow trolling down to 0.25 mph, letting you cover water without rushing the lure.

Designed for steady, controlled presentation, the harness pairs well with traditional bait setups and modern artificial baits. Its blade design rides higher in the water and spins at slower speeds compared with some classic blade rigs, offering a distinct action that can appeal to wary fish in clear or pressured fisheries.

Key features

• Made from Polycarbonate
• 66 inch Snell/leader length
• Two size blades (size #1 7/8in, size #2 1 3/8in)
• Allows for slow trolling down to 0.25 mph

On the water usage

The harness shines when rigged with a nightcrawler or an Impulse nightcrawler, offering flexible bait presentation. Don’t overlook a live leech—hook the leech’s head on the front hook and its tail on the trailer for a multi-bait setup that can entice a bite while you drift or troll.

Rigging and action details

The butterfly blade’s high ride and slower spin are designed to help sustain a steady lure profile at low speeds. This makes it well-suited for long drifts and subtle, controlled pulls through structure or weed edges. Use the Snell/leader to manage depth and line control, and select blade size to match target depth and water clarity.

Baiting options

• Nightcrawler rigs with front hook and trailer for a natural, multi-bait presentation
• Artificial Impulse nightcrawler setups as a versatile substitute

What you may experience

In the right conditions, this harness can help you attract walleyes and jumbo perch, with potential applicability to other game fish. Expect consistent performance as you adjust speed, depth, and bait type to your local water and fish behavior. Treat it as a flexible tool in your tackle box, not a guaranteed recipe, and tailor your approach to current fishing pressure and water clarity.
