Heating Multiple Sb's

[brendandrage]

Hi all,

Hope everyone had a great christmas new year and for those lucky enough a bit of a break.

I have been busy building my business and refining my production methods and again reading all the back posts have been a huge help I have picked up little tips and hint everywhere.

The next thing I am working on to speed the process up is a way to heat multiple spinnerbaits at the same time.

I was wondering if anyone has a jig or set up they would care to share.

I have made jig to hold 10 at a time by using a 2 peices of aluminum "c" sections pushed together.

I have capped one end off and cut slots down one of the sections for the hooks come out of and "vee's" in the top of the other section for wire to come out out the top.

Then I point the heat gun up the open end and heat them.

To remove the SB's one at a time by pulling the section with the vee's out and removing the heated SB.

The system works but has a number of flaws, and yes i have the burnt fingers to prove it.

Overall I think its ok but I need to find a way to reduce the heat transfer up the hook shaft and also to hold the baits in place but as I said it works.

Anyway I look forward to seeing some other designs and as I refine this system I will repost the updates.

Cheers

Brendan

Doesn't that heat the hook and the wire shaft as well?

Yes but why is that a concern?

If you heat the hook shaft the paint will stick up the shaft as well.

If you heat the hook shaft the paint will stick up the shaft as well.

Not if you wrap it with heat resistant tape.
