| Being new to bucktail making, I thought using the Musky Shop's quick change clevis would make it easy to experiment with different sizes, colors, and types of blades. With my first cast, the blades flew off! I tried two more blades - one flew off and one had almost worked itself off. I have the "opening" toward the front of the lure, so that appears to be OK. I asked the Musky Shop what might be wrong, and was told that I had gotten a bad batch of clevises, and he sent me the "new" ones. But the new and old are exactly the same. How the heck can I keep the blades from flying off while casting? I really want this to work, because I'm going to Eagle Lake in two weeks. TIA for your advice......don |

Location: SE, WI. | For the musky fisherman, I’d just stick with the heavier stainless clevises. Since you’re building your own, take several other baits along with different size blades and wire shafts to keep you in the game. Many resorts had vises , or take round nose pliers to modify as needed. Those snap on clevises imo are more built for the walleye guys pulling harnesses . |
