Lure Dryer
« on: August 03, 2011, 01:22:54 PM »
Hey all,

Know this is a hot topic. Looking to see if anyone would be interested in selling their lure dryer? maybe an old on you don't use? If not I am trying to make on that hold 1-4 lures or so...nothin crazy. Cheap Cheap Cheap haha. Any help would be awesome

ps. no luck at the tournament. We went for tuna and only pulled up 5 50lb yellow birds and a few big mahi. The winners pulled up a 230 and 154 lb bigeye

1. get in your car
2. go to store
3. buy rotisserie grill motor
4. mount motor to piece of wood
5. plug in wall
6. hook plugs up to motor using screw eyes, or wire or anything you can hold them on
7. Support opposite end with a bracket or piece of wood with hole in it.
8. turn on
9. Curse when a fly lands

Last question...does the rpm of the motor matter? Higher or lower better?

Thanks

You want something under 5 rpm otherwise you'll have a hard time putting the finish on. (If you want to coat them on the dryer)
