go4bas Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Here is a link to my bait dryer I built yesterday for my finishing. Nothing special but it works great. YouTube - Lure Dryer go4bas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbduc Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Looks nice. It also looks like you have some adjustability with the wheels, also nice. I had a similar set up with that same motor but the noise drove me crazy. I ended up finding a rotisserie and hi-jacked the mechanics out of it. Works great and is whisper quiet. Looks like you have a fine collection of baits spinning on the wheel. Look forward to seeing the end product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go4bas Posted January 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Yeah, noisy as hell but it works. I would interested in seeing what you did to quiet yours down. The baits are a Balsa B2 nockoff (Been some talk in here about Balsa B's). go4bas aka: Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbduc Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 I'll take some pics and post them. I'm in the process of adding some bearings one the ends of the main spindle to make things a little smoother. Right now it's metal on metal.

mark poulson Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 (edited) I think your design is brilliant. It's the same design I used. I made my drying wheel the same way, and used a rotisserie motor, and it's quiet. I posted a pic. in the gallery last year, I think. My motor is 1 rpm, which is plenty fast for the Etex and Nu Lustre 55 top coats I use. I made my wheels a little bigger, so I could coat 8 jointed swimbaits at once if I wanted. I think that the two wheel design, with a positive attachment at each end of the lure, is a very secure method of mounting, and it gives me access to all sides of all the lures as I coat them.
