Rip Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 I usually use an exacto blde handle to hold my crank baits when I am paintin them..... I am painting something I made and it has the bigger (thicker) screw in hook holders. Does anyone have any suggestions on something that I can use to hold them .... I like the exacto blade holders because they slide right into my rotator as it is the foam set up..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 You might use a needle-nosed vise grip or a less expensive clone of the same. Adjust to any size and it should carry a fairly large weight load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedHed Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Hey Rip Welcome into the underground. You might want to try using hemostats. Cheap and easy - I use larger ones on jigs up to 2 oz. Most supply houses carry them and you can find them on ebay. Might have to re-work your "rotator". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most supply houses carry them and you can find them on ebay. Might have to re-work your "rotator". My rotator is layered foam so I can just tighten if I need to...... I could even dip the hemostats in the liquid rubber stuff so it has a little more bite......Why didnt I think of hemostats...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedHed Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Heat shrink tubing works great. I use it on small alligator clips for ultra lite stuff - keeps the hooks from rolling around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emptycooler Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 I use vice grips and a holder. The holder rotates 360. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Just be sure not to use the vice grips on the line tie. They can leave nasty sharp ridges that love to cut line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
