TRIPLE C CUSTOM LURES Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 What are you guys using on your drying wheels to hold the bait. My alligator clips work fine if the bait has a lip. I know about using a screw but some of the baits are plastic. I need something good and strong like small vise grips. Only cheaper and lighter. Thanks in advance.[/b] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROBZILLA Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 How about using springs on the eyes of your baits to hold them between two points? tip and tail I'm working on a drying wheel for Etch a Sketch with this principle in mind. the wheel is top secret for now but Rob will show it off when it is done.

SeminoleFan Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 I use binder clips from office depot and dowel rods. Very flexible and strong. Works good for me. http://www.keysan.com/ksu1712.htm[/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRIPLE C CUSTOM LURES Posted March 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 The only problem with that rob is that some times I don't have the lips on the first time I spin them, only giving me the back and lower hook hangers. As for the exacto knife where do you just get the handles if you can? I looked at walmart and they were 3.00. I can buy the little vise grips for 1.88 and they are the strongest. When I get home I am going to do some wheels out of meta l and tack weld the vise grips on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coley Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 I use Hemostats to hold the hook hanger. I place the hemostat between 2 alligator clips. Never had a problem. Coley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellure Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Bulldog clips work well, put a serious grip on a lip. They come in many sizes & hold various sizes of lips effectively. You can find them at any Staples, Office max, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
