Lucky Joe Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 I have most of the components for putting this thing together, but here's the dumb question. What clips are best to use for holding the bait as it spins? I paint quite a few "old" Poe's and need something pretty stout. Also, for lures such as Bombers with a keel on the bottom of the bill. Binder clips just slide off. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 I used alligator clips. I put blue painter's tape on the lips for better grip and so the clips won't scratch them. The clips I bought at Home Depot fit perfectly on a piece of 1/8" dia dowel rod. I just drilled the axle, stuck dowels through the holes and pushed clips on the ends of the dowels. A little epoxy made everything solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
