muskiebum Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Blake sold me his old drying wheel and it works great but I'm looking to build a bigger. Any suggestions on what motor to use. and also any designs would be great. I'm lookin to turn about 30-40 4oz lures which If i'm adding right seems like a lot of weight. Thanks a bunch, Hit em hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlybass Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 MSC and Grainger(industrial supply companies with web sites) have good selections of low rpm Dayton motors for approximately $35-$70 depending on model.The weight of the lures should not create a torque issue but I would add lures to the wheel in a manner that maintains some semblance of balance.I would be most concerned how motor is mounted to frame,frame construction and how frame is secured in place during operation.I use a wheel that I "stick" lure wands in holes(evenly spaced) of the wheel axially.There are pictures on this site of wheels that hold lures radially.I do not know the capabilities of less expensive rotisserie motors but I would expect they would suffice.
