Random quote: A couple of young fellers were fishing at their special pond off the beaten track when out of the bushes jumped the Game Warden. Immediately, one of the boys threw his rod down and started running through the woods like a bat out of hell, and hot on his heels came the Game Warden.

I am kind of new at this, and I was wondering if there is anyway of changing the Blades on the bigger Bucktails. I am trying to figure out how to change the blade on a few of my larger Eagletail Bucktails. I like the Hair but not the Blade. I want to put on larger Blades, there are clevis devices on these tails that I was thinging of removing (cutting off) and I was thinking of trying to make another clevis but with wire wrapped around the main stem?....Any help will be a Plus. Thanks Mike

Your best bet would be to cut the wire and retie it. U can use a nail and pliers to do so. I think the wrapping wire idea will not work. It would be a lot easier just to use the parts over again on a new shaft. If I have a fish ruin a bucktail I always save the parts and remake it on a new wire. It's quite easy once you get used to it.
