Drying/turning units

Featured Replies

Could some of you guys show me what you use to dry lures.  Please explain construction and components if it's home made.

Thanks ;)

LBH, not sure if you visit www.tackleunderground.com or not, but if you have never been there, you should definitley check it out...its the "bass resource" of lure building  ;)

there is a great member submitted tutorials section of the site, but the site is doing some construction so the tutorials are currently unavailable. there are two good tutorials for building drying wheels.

i'm sure there is some information available on the forum about making drying wheels, just do a search :)

I used a rod turning motor and some scrap wood I had.   Attached a 8"round wood disc from the hobby store.  

What type of baits do you plan to turn, that will determine what type of drying wheel you need.   I can only turn smaller bass sized cranks on mine.

here is my simple but effective drying wheel

Big M, what would I need to buy to build that (and where-motor)?  I have the wood and hardware.

LBH, it's a rod turning motor.   You can find them at any place that sells rod building supplies.    I used a switch from a lamp building kit for the power.   I found a big box of those little clamps at Sears.

i want to thank you  for the job of getting my avatar back up on site like i said before i know very little about a computer just enough to get in trouble thank again     ken kindle  hope some day i can return the favor.

Lowes has rotisserie motors on sale for grills, might work

I use a barberque rotisserie motor, a 18 inch aluminum plate with alligator clips attached to it. Works great and holds 24 cranks.
