Location: madison wisconsin | I recently bought a dbl 10 marabou homemade bucktail at a local bait shop and when I throw it the blades WILL NOT spin at all. When I looked at it, it seems there is no play and the beads are a little tight to the clevises so they can't spin. Anyone have any thoughts on a quick fix or better off taking it back? Thanks |

| If it is to tight try to pintch the twist at the top to make more room. Also take a look at the clevis and make sure it is a true U shape if it is not then no matter what you do they will not trurn the way they should. If that is the case take it back if you can. I had a similar problem with the Dominatrix and had to have 4 of them redone because even after the twist was compressed the blades still did not turn. I had a freind look at them and he changed the clevis's and they have worked fine ever since. |

Location: north central wisconsin | Just popped a bead or two off a couple of mine, to tighten up the size a tad. Even the metal beads can be popped loose with a vise grips. The bead will open at the seam, then simply pry it off the wire shaft with a smaller pliars or screw driver. |

Location: Yahara River Chain | I was out with wers4455 this morning and he showed me the bucktail. It will not spin because of the tight wire wrapped and no play in the beads/clevis on the shaft. It had a couple of what looks to be glow beads on the shaft and I cut one in half and removed it and gave the thing a 1/2 of a bead's worth of play. It works now.
Jamie thanks for taking me fishing!!! |
