How long are your harnesses, how far apart are your hooks, do you ever use 2 blades on a harness?

I cant speak for everyone but my hooks are about 4 inches apart and as far as blades I have tied a bunch of double blades but since I don't have a lot of confidence In them  they don't see as much time in the water as my single blades  ( not saying they don't work everything has a time and place ) I have a regular program and when I start to change that fishing is slow. I fish late June to September around Barcelona and run 6 rods 4 harnesses ( a lot of gold ) and 2 rapala taildancers ( purpledecent and a custom painted wonderbread ) sorry to be so long winded but I hope this helps...

Why couldn't you use wire fishing line, like we use on dipsey rods?

You can. I’ve tied several with 30# dipsy wire. I usually get several seasons out of them. When the hooks need replaced I cut them apart and re-rig them. When I use wire I use aluminum crimps on them.
