I use the acid brushes from Harbor freight, can't recall off the top of my head how much, but they are fairly cheap and they run them on sale all the time. I use them once and throw them away. Todd

I put a nail in a vise and bend the wire around the nail, crimp it to the nail with a pair of pliers, put it in the chuck of a cordless drill and twist it. hope this helps Todd

Hey Guys Thanks for the info, I have the regular props from stamina and was wanting something that rotates the opposite direction, since my topwater bait wants to lay on its side, I tried bending the ones from stamina but am not sure if I am getting a consistent result. Diemai- thanks for the pictures (nice work) I guess I will try to make some or keep bending the ones I have. thanks again Todd

Hi, Great work everyone I am looking for some counterclockwise rotating prop blades size 4 1/2 for some topwater baits, does anyone have a source for them or any suggestions, I have tried stamina, moores, hagens, barlow, netcraft. thanks and keep up the great work. Todd

Hi Bassman I use heavy duty renyolds wrap and just glue it on, also have used the foil duct tape from Lowes or Home Depot in the past. Todd

Hi I found the banana clips and sockets at Futurlec.com the clips are .25 each and the sockets are .08 hope this helps Todd

Thanks Guys you are giving be a bunch of things to think about. My main concerns are cost and size, since my shop is small I need something easy to drain and store, I can't have it sitting outside (it will freeze up) thanks Todd

Thanks for eveyones help. I think Pete has the way to go, I am off the week after Christmas and am planning on working on it then. I will let you know how it turns out. thanks again Todd

Hi Everyone I have an idea for a test tank and would like some imput please. I cut a plastic 55 gal drum in half and I am wanting to add a discharge hose, pump and a inlet hose to create water flow. I'm thinking the hoses should be straight across from each other with the discharge on the bottom and the inlet at the top below the water line. My questions are would you be able to control the flow enough to gauge the action of a bait?(by pump size and a gate valve) What size pump and hoses? Has anyone tried this before and does anyone have any suggestions? thanks for your help and for a great site. Good Luck Fishing Todd

Hi Lostfisher, I don't prime mine, but I do seal them first. Todd
