Not sure about uploading photos. If it works, there should be a few different photos of bucktails, or double 10s I suppose.

The theory was build a common set of blades of different color combinations and weights. Most of the blade portions are the same weight but the skirts and tails are of different weight for different depths. Every blade set and skirt are completely interchangeable in the pictures below. There is split ring in the middle that I use to attach the two pieces together. Got a few more color combos to tie up yet but its a start, and pretty versatile so far.

The only problem I have had with them is an occasional situation where the rear hook would catch the main line and tangle, mostly when throwing into a wind. Otherwise, a few follows but no takers...

Glittertails have been making pretty much the same baits for 3 or 4 years now.. best blades out there IMO..

Windel's has sold blades and tails separate for quite a few years also. I always liked being able to switch them around myself.
