Last few years thin double indiana blade bucktails have moved fish,,however they lose their "thump" and don't flare skirt has much after a while,,,don't want to switch these work when healthy.

I guess I would just buy 2 new blades and reshaft.

Otherwise, usually the first place these blades fail / bend , is next to the clevis. Try to flatten out blade,right by the clevis...and restore the initial bend.

If you want more flare, put a 2x4 on top of blade, press down, or tap with a rubber mallet lightly to flatten/ reach your desired flare.

Flatten blade with long nose pliers.
