Here's one I've been using for 8 years. Scrap shelving for the base and sides, a 1/2" dia dowel for the axle, alligator clips on 1/8" dia dowel arms for 6 crankbaits, powered by a small 6 rpm a/c motor. The axle dowel has a small hole drilled in its end just big enough for the motor's drive axle to fit, and is locked in with a little epoxy. I used a big washer on the other side from the motor to act as a "bearing" for the axle. Screws and or glue where you want to hold pieces stable. Pretty simple to knock together in about an hour. I put blue painter's tape on the lips of the crankbaits so the alligator clips won't scratch them while turning. Doesn't really matter what it looks like as long as it keeps spinning!
