Changing Blades on a Bucktail

[JimBuck]

I've got a few Bucktails that I would like to put new blades on. I was wondering if this is an easy process or does it require some lure building experience/tools? Thanks.

You would just need to be able to open and reclose the loop and put a different blade on the clevis. There are some easy change clevises but I don't know how well they would work. Also you probably can only change blades a time or two before metal fatigue sets in.

Cut it apart and rebuild it.

easy as pie, no experience nessassary, tools are required. i posted a tutorial in the lure/rod building forum that should hopefully get you by called ''loops in wire''. it's on my HSOforum also if you have trouble finding it. most important of all the tools is a round nose pliers. good luck ... please use a face shield.

Excellent. Many thanks guys. I'm picking up a few blades tomorrow after work for a weekend project.

A small vise makes it a much easier operation.
