LADYBUG – Size 5 Colorado Walleye Crawler Harness
LADYBUG is a colorful size 5 Colorado crawler harness built around one of the most recognizable spotted patterns in the walleye trolling world. The front of the deep cup spinner blade combines a bright fluorescent chartreuse and yellow upper section with red across the lower portion, creating a dramatic transition from a hot, highly visible top to a darker red lower half. Large black spots complete the pattern and give the blade its unmistakable LADYBUG identity.
The result is a walleye crawler harness with a bold spotted appearance that is easy to recognize at a glance. Rather than relying on a complicated collection of colors and decals, LADYBUG uses a simple, high-contrast combination: chartreuse and yellow, red, and black. Those colors continue into the harness itself, where bright chartreuse/yellow beads lead into a sequence of red and black beads that ties the entire presentation together.
The blade is a size 5 deep cup Colorado spinner blade, giving this crawler harness the broad, rounded Colorado profile preferred by anglers looking for a traditional spinner presentation behind a nightcrawler. The blade’s front provides the colorful LADYBUG pattern, while the reverse side is completely different. Instead of repeating the spotted design, the back has a smooth copper finish.
That gives LADYBUG two distinct visual personalities as the blade turns. The front presents the chartreuse, yellow, red, and black spotted pattern, while the back flashes a clean copper surface. This front-to-back contrast is one of the details that makes the LADYBUG crawler harness more than simply a red-and-black spotted spinner. The copper back adds a warm metallic look that complements the colors on the front without duplicating them.
Under UV lighting, the photographs also show the highly UV-reactive fluorescent finish responding differently from the black spots. The fluorescent areas become especially prominent while the black spots remain dark, preserving the pattern’s contrast. The front and back both have UV-reactive fluorescent paint, adding another dimension to this bright Colorado blade presentation.
The bead chain carries the color theme from the spinner toward the bait. Bright chartreuse and yellow beads are positioned near the blade before the pattern transitions into alternating red and black beads. The combination creates a coordinated presentation from one end of the crawler harness to the other. Even when the blade and beads are viewed together, the color selection remains consistent with the LADYBUG name and spotted blade pattern.
Whether you call it a crawler harness, worm harness, walleye spinner rig, nightcrawler rig, live bait rig, or trolling spinner, LADYBUG is designed as a complete hand-tied presentation for fishing with a crawler. The distinctive size 5 Colorado blade provides the visual centerpiece, while the matching beads, fluorocarbon leader, dual-hook arrangement, and crane swivel complete the rig.
LADYBUG is hand-tied on a 5-foot leader of 20-lb. test Seaguar ABRAZX fluorocarbon line. The crawler harness uses one size #1 red Octopus hook and one size #2 red Octopus hook, spaced 3½ inches apart. It is finished with a 50-lb. test size #7 black crane swivel.
For anglers searching for a walleye crawler harness with a chartreuse blade, yellow and red spinner, black spotted Colorado blade, copper-backed spinner, UV-reactive crawler harness, or size 5 Colorado worm harness, LADYBUG offers all of those features in one distinctive presentation. Its bright spotted front, smooth copper back, coordinated bead pattern, and hand-tied construction give this crawler harness a look that stands apart from ordinary single-color walleye spinner rigs.
