5 fish on Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 I have a cheap rod drying motor that works fine for its intended purpose but now that I modified it to hold a couple lures to dry the plastic gears inside broke nearly ruining a couple baits . Where can I find a motor that will take the added weight of baits, holders , and a wheel to hold them . I still will be using it to dry rod too .

Coley Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Check out a rotisserie motor. I built a lure dryer for a friend yesterday. using one and it works great. It is easily removed and the rpm is 5.5. Coley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VicarsLures Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 fishon, I recently purchased a rotisserie motor at Lowes. They carry a universal fit by char-broil for $20.00. It will hold a lot of lures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lure--Prof Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Mine is from a 20 buck rotisserie found in Walmart's garden dept. and works great. Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maze Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 You can get off cheap if you can grab a motor from a gas grill someone is tossing out. Another cheap or freebie is a motor from a broken microwave oven. There are other sources for a variety of motor such as www.surpluscenter.com or http://www.aaaim.com/cgi-local/shop991/shop.pl/SID=PUT_SID_HERE/page=start_shopping.htm either of these sources will have many for you to choose from. maze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weighinalimit Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 it spins a little fast, but the motor from an ice cream maker is tough as the dickens and you can spin a lot of baits with one. if you use a dimmer switch for the on/off switch, you can slow it down to suit yourself.
