Hey I’m going to start tinkering and start making my own musky bucktails. My question is I have been looking online for clevises and how do I know if the clevises are made for having the tension of a number 10 or 12 blade on it. You know musky tough. Thanks for the help.
Lure parts online has nice selection of lure components. They have a free master catalog that is pretty nice. I believe they include to size scaled pictures. I found old welding tips(sized to shaft dia.) made from copper work for cheap lure bodies. I also cut up the welding liners to tie hair onto so I can slide on shafts. .062-.045 Stainless Tig welding rod works well for shafts.045 stainless mig wire for leaders. Fun stuff.

Lure parts online does have good selection and good prices, just don’t ever plan on returning anything. I tried to return some split rings that were much larger than I thought, followed their directions to the letter. Two days later I had a message from a Patrick there that all they got was an unmolested package with only my receipt and instructions inside. I had the postal service receipt with weight listed as proof they were in there, left a multiple messages and they never returned my call. I guess they feel like it’s okay to screw a guy over 10 bucks worth of split rings.
I buy from Janns netcraft now for my wooden lure supplies
honestly i personally use the smallest clevises that a .051 wire will fit through. I have never had issues with 10s on them but have never made them with 12s so im not sure on that portion. I get most of my stuff from throne bros its just the skirts and wire that i will typically order from lure parts online
Thanks for the info guys it helps a lot I finally found some around and was able to look at them first hand so that helped
