Martin Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 The wheel is complete. I have about $45 bucks invested. It will accept 24 lures. Most of my stuff is jointed so I can run 12 lures, I top coat them before assembly. Will put some top coat on tomorrow and see how things work. The motor is rated for 10 pounds. Fully loaded I am at 8 ? pounds. I hope the motor holds up. It has a 3 year warrantee so I am good for a while. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BasserD Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Martin, It is kind of tuff to see how the lure is attached to the pin. Can you please explain. Perhaps a close up picture. I have to build myself on of these and I am not sure which one to build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted July 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 BasserD The lure is attached by a screw eye. I cut 5/8? dowels 41/2? long drilled a hole at the end then epoxied a stainless screw eye in it. I used 5 minute gel epoxy. The reason gel, it held the screw eye straight while waiting for it to set. The dowel is inserted in a rubber cap, which is screwed to the turning board. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camel1918 Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Very nice job and some great ideas. I haven't built one yet but your ideas and model will sure come in handy when I do. I have an old but not use BQ motor somewhere in the garage. Going to have to get it out and look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
