Easy depends on if you are wanting to swap skirts from one to another. If you are wanting to have a new one made it's easy enough to do yourself. Flashabou and rubber/silicone are the easy to tie. Marabou would the second and hair is more challenging. You can also buy premade skirts

The easiest way to do it is to rewire the bucktail and.add the skirt of choice. Bending new wire isnt that difficult. Get a much longer length than you need, will be easier to make bends.

Muskie! nut, your always giving your bucktails the shaft!

If it's flash, simply carefully cut it all off, replace flash securing it with small zip ties.

Re-skirting:
Option 1: Just buy skirt material and tie it back on with heavy thread and then superglue the thread
Option 2: Re-shaft the bucktail and buy prettied skirts

We nave prettied skirts and blades:

Every time I retie a tail I've never done before I carefully strip down the original and reverse the steps to complete the new one. This works for hair, rubber and flash a bou. If your unsure of your memory take pictures as you tear down the original. There are many options on how to tie.
