CB lures Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 I thought that seen as its finished and the inspiration came from this site, I'd post a picture. The wood disks are 8" dia. The one nearest the motor is fixed while the other one slides and locks, I ground a flat on the axle to tighten a bolt onto to lock it. The motor is a glitter ball motor, 6rpm. The lures are held with springs and a piece of bent wire going from the belly to the axle. Its a bit rough and ready but it does the trick.

Vodkaman Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 The lures are held with springs and a piece of bent wire going from the belly to the axle. Tidy wheel, looks the business. Have you tried without the belly wire or do you find that it is necessary? Nice paint. What top coat are you using? Good to see another Englishman here, must be half a dozen of us now.

CB lures Posted September 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Cheers Dave. The lures flip around if the hooks are not on. The springs and the hooks end up covered in epoxy, but a quck soak in thinners gets them brand new. I use ex74 over createx auto air.

bibrozalo Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Build my own drying wheel a few week ago. It is about 50 cm long and I can put about 40 baits in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Standard PVC pipe clips. Just clip on, no fuss. Genious. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philB Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Hi Craig Nice job and I know exactly what you mean re the lure 'Flip'. Maybe ok for small crankbaits but not for the jerks.

We should get our heads together sometime. I am a retired PAC RO as well so we may have mutual aquaintances, give me a pm sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdsaw Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Very handy and creative work shown here! PhilB, What kind of clamps are you using on your drying wheel? Are they custom made or can you buy them online? BTW, nice thermostatically controlled drying box you've built there Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are supplied with a handle which unscrews off. The thread though is a weird Whitworth thread so I had to drill and tap them out to take a metric bolt. I cannot remember the actual company I got them from but originally found them on ebay doing a search for 'Pin vise' which then led me to the company selling online. I'm sure something similar would be available almost anywhere.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to deal with those threads now and then on Rolls Royce parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
