5 fish on Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 don't use a can opener for a lure dryer. I got my moter geared down and enough room for 10 baits .I stuck one in there to dry the weight and went to take a shower . When I checked it out after I found a stinking hot toasted moter . It turns out a can opener moter was not intended to run continuously. On to plan B whatever that is . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legendary Lures Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 micromark.com sells several different slow motors. One even has a set of gears that you can stack in different configurations to make different speeds. I don't know how much load they can bear, though. Maybe a vacuum sweeper or sewing machine motor and a set of setdown pullys could be used. If your town has "hoopy Christmas", you should be able to pick up several from the curb.
