Tommy Harris has earned a reputation as one of the best walleye harness blade manufacturers in the country. This Racine native, who now resides in Kenosha is a Custom Walleye Blade Painter who competes in a crowded marketplace against large fishing lure manufacturers.


Tommy is constantly looking for ways to improve his product and create custom designs that will meet the needs of his customers and keep him at the front of the industry.

One user says Harris is,
"At the top of the food chain when it comes to blades. And, I don't see anyone in the business getting even close to him.”

“It’s better to be a leader than a follower in this business. I am always looking for ways to improve” he said. A casual browse through some walleye website forums shows that Tommy Harris is considered by many to indeed be the leader in walleye blades.
