The Merger

Description

The Merger Bucktail by H2O Tackle combines two great features – the Switch Clevis® and the action of a tail! The Switch Clevis is the only clevis in the world that auto counter rotates. It rotates one revolution clockwise and then switches to rotate one revolution counter-clockwise – an action that the fish have NEVER seen!

The Merger comes with two blades mounted on the Switch clevis. Using a small screwdriver, you can easily switch the blades while on the water. Run with one blade or two, blades of the same size/type or different sizes/types. To get the auto counter rotation effect, you need to use thin blades and a high-lift blade must be on the long arm side of the clevis. When using different sizes of blades, a larger high lift blade needs to be on the long arm side of the clevis.

Examples of high lift blades are Colorado, Magnum Indiana, Olympic (also known as Lakeland’s Magnum Willow and Turtleback). Blades should not be dimpled or fluted because that takes away the lift.

You can get the clevis to straight spin by using non-high lift blades (Indiana, French, Willow), thick blades, and/or blades that are dimpled or fluted.

To change the blades: Use a small screwdriver, insert it in the indentation between the wire and the clevis, and twist to pop the wire out of the notch. Remove and replace the blade(s). Push the wire back down under the notch (might need to push or pull the blades a little to line the wire up with the holes).
