feathercast Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 OK I have looked everyplace & can't find nothing so it's time to ask the experts. How do you get the concave face on a popper? I've got the half moon, just would like to do the concave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiR3 TiG3R Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 there is a special grinding bit to fit on a drill. it is sherical in shape...i'm not sure what it's called but i think u can find it in a hardware store. do u have an aquarium? have u seen a round air stone? it looks exactly like that, with a stalk to fit into the drill. they come in many shapes. some spherical, some shaped like a cone. hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Brush Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Here's a link to Ken (My Lures) Schmidt's half moon / slope faced popper tutorial. Ken shows how to set up a jig to consistantly cut half moons and slopes. http://www.tackleunderground.com/board/kb.php?mode=article&k=18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Try this for EZ popper faces. After finding the center of the face, I use a countersink for my first step It will make a cone shape hole in the front of the bait. Next, I use a router bit that is an inside full round. I use it to enlarge the cone shape hole and round off the inside face of the bait. Both of these bits I use in a homemade set up. A small motor attached to a mounting board with a drill chuck added and a foot pedal from an old sewing machine for variable speed. Good Luck, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
