Some still on the drying wheel

Featured Replies

looks great! Are those Red eye shads on the first two? did you just repaint them or did you get them unpainted?

You got any specs on your drying wheel I like that, because you can do lipless with ease it looks like. Once again looks great!

I also love the first one. The shading around the eye looks good.

You've been busy! They look good.

I found some SK Red Eye Shad on clearance at a Walmart last week. I got all of them and plan to do the same thing.

  Thanks guys!

GamecOcks, Just some old beat up Red Eyes that needed a new life. The dryer is a rotisserie motor,

3/8" wooden dowel and a couple of line spools that fit the 3/8" dowel.

The spool on the right is mounted on dowel with screws and it has small bungee cords attached to it by drilling holes in side of spool, cutting one hook off bungee, slip through hole and tie a knot on back side.

Spool on left will slide to allow you to put lure on and tighten to suspend lure ready for epoxy. A stop collar holds it where you want it.

The wire you see on left came from a photo mobile already in that shape which also provides some tension to keep lure suspended. Plus it was full of alligator clips which come in handy.

I put snap swivels on the wires to attach to lure and eye screws on spool that I slightly opened to hook wire onto.

This bungee system works great on swimbaits also, just needs a straight wire or a barrel swivel on left side.

I also put some clips to hold lipped baits on the other side of left spool.

I can take the whole assembly out of box less motor for when I'm spraying.

You could make this hold more baits by making the wheels out of wood any size you want.

Hope this makes since and hope it helps.

Thanks BUZZ I like that, I got a identical storage cabinet at my parents house that my Dad wants to get rid of looks like I will take that off his hands now  ;D

Nice work! And that's a clever curing wheel too.
