    No way to just add them without the hardware already on the rig, without it looking junky. You'll have clip the ends, slide on the components and then re-bend the loops at the end. Look over various bladed rigs and use the method you prefer.

    You do not need to clip the ends. Use copper wire to make a loop.arigblade.jpg
    Make another wrap between that and the end and super glue in place.

    Yes. Begin the wrap, make the loop and add swivel finish the wrap.

    You can look at Barlows, Hagens , lureparts, many other will have the stirrup, swivel and blades.

    Can also use underspin heads as the jig heads as well. There are times when that really works good

    So you just crimp the Clevis onto the wire? Will they move easily?

    Use a pin or hook in the holes and open up the clevis, install, then recrimp over the wire. They come closed. I wish they came open.
