Posts: 523 Location: NW WI | Looking at ordering some Clevises to start playing with bucktail building. Part of my motive is to play around with some different blade designs/combos. So I'm looking at Rollie n Helen's just because I'll likely order some other items but they're not absolutely necessary if y'all steer me a different direction. They have 2 types of quick change blade Clevises,which I'm thinking is the best route just for playing and experimenting with. Is one better than the other? And what's the downside of a quick change vs standard Clevis? Also can you tandem by using 2 Clevises separated by 1 bead? | ||

Posts: 1319 | Reg Clevises you can't change blades but they kick start well, Quick Change are so you can change blades but they start a little harder. The only time I use more then one Clevises is to make a double # (what ever size blade you use on that lure). | ||

But that does raise another question. Is there a performance difference between using two clevises like that vs using a 1 piece double clevis? | ||

Posts: 10 | I have found that the blades fly off the quick change clevis. I have tried it with the end that opens facing forward and backward and they come off in either direction. I thought about using a plastic cable tie to keep the blade on but have not had a chance to try this yet. | ||

Posts: 1319 | I've never lost a blade on the modern metal Quick Change Clevises, however I've lost blades on the small plastic Clevises on my Walleye Spinner Rigs. | ||

I will be building some bucktails with them during the dog days this coming summer. Do a search of the site, and you'll find reviews running the gamut from junk to the best thing since sliced bread.. You might find the photo in this thread interesting.. https://muskie.outdoorsfirst.com/board/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=13... | ||

Posts: 209 Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota | If you want to have your bucktail run as well as it can then you want to use two standard clevises vs the quick change ones. I have found with 2 clevises you can run 2 blades of the same style but different sizes, ie a 8 and 9 Colorado or 8 and 9 Indiana. Once you get into different blade combos, like a 8 Colorado and 9 Indiana, you will notice two separate clevises do not run or start nearly as well. If I’m building a true stagger with different blades, I buy a musky frenzy dozer and use their 1 piece clevis for whatever blades I want. That 1 piece clevis is the only way I’ve noticed to make a blade combo run well. I know the musky shop sells a double clevis where they are connected, but stacked on top of each other. I’ve never used them but it would be worth a try, although I doubt they run as well as the musky frenzy ones | ||
