reefslinger Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Hey guys, anyone use an aquarium to test your cranks? Could a water pump(like a pond pump) pointed at a submerged crank give a good idea how true your crank runs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Have you done a search on "test tank" yet? There is a thread spanning three pages from a few months back were different concepts were discussed. We are planning to use the swimming pool in Clinton, MO at the TU Gathering April 25-27.

mark poulson Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 I used to have a 50 gallon tank in the Living Room with fish and crawdads. I would drop rigs in to see how they worked. One day, I dropped in a fat Ika smeared with Mega Strike. One of the crawdads grabbed it, and wouldn't let go. I had to keep coming back until he let it go, and snatch it away from him. It was pretty fun, until the tank sprung a leak during the night, and ruined my hardwood floors. Grrrrr!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefslinger Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Thanks Spike-alot of info thier, guess I wasn't looking for it in the right way. I was thinking aquarium because I would like to be able to view/record the lure from the side having the lure running from left to right, but dont think a regular aquarium would be big enough.

redg8r Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Lapala was cool enough to put some Rapala factory tour video on the web. Heres a snippet showing one of their test tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefslinger Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Yah, I saw 3 parts to the series. Great info, hard to believe Rapala alowed it. I'm in the middle of replacing my master bath. Maybe the old tub needs to be recycled! hmmmmmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
