mark poulson Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I used to have a hollow tube with a cutting end to make hollows for rattles in worms and other soft plastics, but it disappeared years ago. Does anyone here know if something like that is still available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Americanzero Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Bet you could use a cigar plugger, they are sharp enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
encoly Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Cabelas has a jalopena corer that might work. It's in the outdoor cooking section of their cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks like it is probably too big. The one I used to have was 3/16" max (I don't remember exactly), so I could core out a pocket in a worm for a rattle.

encoly Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 One thing you could do, is take a piece of copper tubing, and turn the end on a grinding wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a smoker, so I've never seen one of those in person. I've always seen the ends of cigars cut off before they're smoked, but not cored. What is the diameter of the cutter shaft?

I was thinking of that, too. Bob, steel might hold an edge better. I'll check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfwrestle Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 leather punches could work too. I also use hollow brass rod that I get at Ace hardware and use a dremel with a cone shaped bit to sharpen the inside for punching out label paper for making eyes for crankbaits. Doesn't hold an edge long, but is very cheap and easy to resharpen. They also have hollow stainless which ive tried, but it takes forever to sharpen and doesn't get as sharp as the brass for some reason. comes in a bunch of sizes, one of them should work.
