smallheadz Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Having trouble finding a slitter machine for tube tails and other plastic baits. The only one I can find is Zorn and it's $2600. I don't mind spending the money but I am not going to buy the first machine I see and I would like to compare different machines for pros and cons. I would really like to find someone going out of business but who knows. I was hoping some of you guys could point me in the right direction. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KickerWormz Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 I know that there are a few people on this forum that pretty much only do tube baits. For the most part they split the tails by hand with a good quality hand made splitter. There is a "how to" on how to manufacture this tool. I believe it consist of the handle to a paint roller, 8 or so rotary disc, and some washers as spacers. From what they have been posting here in the past regarding the "splitting tubes" they usually do a few hundred an hour or so. Save your money and do it that way...hope that helps...

smallheadz Posted September 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 I have several of those made and they can't keep up,with the people we have. We are running very large volumes now and just picked up a big account. Basically I need somthing that is going to be fast and uniform, the cost is not the concern at this point. I know there are other companies making these machines besides Zorn , hopefully I can find out who. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
