Northland Tackle BFBH2-NR Butterfly Blade Harness 60-Inch Silver Shiner

Overview

The Northland Tackle BFBH2-NR Butterfly Blade Harness is designed to deliver a lively, eye-catching presentation for walleyes, jumbo perch, and other popular game fish. Its butterfly blade rides higher in the water and spins at a slower pace than traditional blade designs, creating a distinctive flash and lift as you cover structure, weed edges, and drop-offs. The result is a lure that blends natural movement with visible action, helping you explore diverse ambush zones with confidence.

Why the Butterfly Blade design matters

In practice, the higher riding blade profile and slower spin can translate to a subtler, more controlled flutter that stands out in backdrop currents and murky water. Anglers often notice that this setup tracks smoothly at slow trolling speeds and maintains consistent action when conditions shift, from calm mornings to windy afternoons.

Key features at a glance

Rigging options and practical tips

Rigging versatility is a cornerstone of the BFBH2-NR. It excels when paired with nightcrawler bait or artificial Impulse nightcrawlers, and it remains effective with live leeches when you follow a simple technique: hook the leech’s head on the front hook and place the tail on the trailer for a natural, enticing presentation.

• Nightcrawler setups: use live or artificial versions to suit your fishing plan
• Live leech technique: head-on-front hook, tail on trailer for added realism
• Blade choice tips: switch between sizes to tailor lift, flash, and tracking based on water clarity

What you may experience on the water

Expect a steady, visible presence in the water column, with a balance of lift and flash designed to attract bites without overwhelming the lure’s natural movement. Durable components and a snell-style leader contribute to reliable performance across a range of fishing scenarios, while the design remains approachable for anglers adjusting speed, depth, and bait. This harness is built to complement long retrieves, edge-line trolling, and productive casting spots, offering a thoughtful combination of sensitivity, durability, and actionable action.
