Agro Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) Newbie lure builder here! I have bought 3 different BBQ rotisserie sets and have returned them all. The first one I bought was 2 RPMs and the second I bought was 1 RPM. Where can I find one faster? I'm going to be turning plugs with Bob Smith 30 min epoxy and would like something in the 4 - 6 RPM range so I can build me a turner. From my research, this seems to be about the right speed I need. I saw some smaller motors on ebay but they don't have the torque like the rotisseries have and I was hoping to turn 10 to 15 baits at once. Can anyone help me find a faster rotisserie? Thanks!

nedyarb Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Walmart sells them!!!! And craigslist, buy an old microwave! A couple clamps and some wood will make aturner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambennett Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I got the Walmart variety and it's probably 5 RPMs or something like that. I haven't been able to overload it yet. Plenty of power. The first one I bought off of eBay died after about 4 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) Went to 2 walmarts yesterday and they didn't have any. I guess it's a seasonal item? The one I see on their website says sold out online and not available in stores: http://www.walmart.c...SSERIE/10846835 Horrible reviews on it though... Any other ideas? Doh!

saltshaker Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I've timed mine @ 2 rpm and it does a good job. Lures come out perfect. I've done as many as 10 at one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Lowes and Home Depot! Thats where I bought the 3 I had so far. 2RPMs for the one at homedepot and 1RPM for the one at Lowes. They are all too slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agro Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 should be in stock. They are in stock at lowes and home depot, thats where I bought the last 3 of them, however they are all the 1 and 2 RPM models only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenfeather Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I've timed mine @ 2 rpm and it does a good job. Lures come out perfect. I've done as many as 10 at one time. Same here. I used a rotisserie motor I got from Lowes and timed it at a little over 2rpm. I've used both Envirotex and Devcon, which have very different viscosities, and never had any problems with it. I don't think I could load mine if it was spinning at 4rpm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redg8r Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Odd, I've never found one under 4rpm, maybe a west coast thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 If you want, you can order one online from Ace Hardware and they will deliver free to any store you like $18 last I checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agro Posted January 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 If you want, you can order one online from Ace Hardware and they will deliver free to any store you like $18 last I checked. Just looked online at Ace Hardware and they sell two different ones. Grillmark (1 RPM) $18.99 : http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3931566&kw=rotisserie&origkw=Rotisserie Weber ( 1RPM) $79.99 http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3332024&kw=rotisserie&origkw=Rotisserie&searchId=54441069324 Both are too slow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizza Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I use the motor from a light mover. The kind used to grow indoor blueberries. It rotates about 4.20 times per minute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentle Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Bought mine off eBay, 6 or so rpm, I've had it 6 plus years, have turned 20 bass baits at a once numerous times, I use almost every single day and has never failed me. $10-$12 and the last time I looked they were still on there.

ravenlures Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I would try Surplus Center they have any size and RPM you need www.surpluscenter.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I don't know why you would want anything more than 2 rpm. The further away from the axis (right term?) you place the lure, the faster the revolution. I have a 2rpm rotisserie motor I bought used on e-bay for about $8 plus a couple for shipping. I run up to 16 lures at a time and have 1,000 hours on it. I can run it for 12 hours or so and it never gets hot. I am also using BSI 30 Minute Slow Cure Epoxy.

mark poulson Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 If you build a "ferris wheel" type turner with large plywood discs, the speed of the lures at the outer portion of the disc is plenty fast for even a 1 rpm motor. And the bbq motors are plenty strong enough to turn them. After all, they're design to turn big pieces of meat, like roasts and even whole turkeys.

Mordy Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I had the same problem, so I ran a bolt from the bbq motor onto a fishing line spool. I then got some 1 cm elastic joined it to form a "Fan Belt" and ran it onto a cotton spool works a treat spins rods. I think the new rotation is 5.5 per minute Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mordy Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Thanks, amazing what you can come up with (in the Man Cave) From memory I started to use it for epoxy flies ( with out the Pullies) worked fine, then I used it for rod building The blue foam bit is hollow and the rod butt fits into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) I was finally able to find me a 3 RPM rotisserie in another town near me. Put it all together tonight and this what I came up with. I should be able to turn up to 24 lures at once if I really needed to but I probably wont be doing more than 5 or 10 at any given time.
