Fish_N_Fool Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 I have been thinking of getting one of these also, so I'm very interested in what you think of it. I also would be using with a lot of salt and glitter so want to hear how it works, and if it keeps the salt suspended well enough. PLEASE PLEASE let us know how it goes.

Predator Bass Baits Posted February 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Well you guy's wanted me to give up-date. well I have nothing good to say EXCEPT the unit looks nice and Shawn at Lure Craft has been nice to deal with. The guy that built it is another story. I am having it sent back, a few minor problems with it along with one major, stripped out threads in the pot were the valve connects must cost extra, After this I am sure Shawn will make sure future pots will be well built for customers. I am very disapointed as this pot set-up will rock. I might try and build my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmik26 Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Thats too bad it didn't work out. The good thing is that LC is standing behind there product. Good service is sometimes hard to find. Did you get any baits made from it? If so how did it work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloomisman Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 that is a bummer. Sorry to hear that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabefishing Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 that is a crappy deal, however it's awesome that LC is taking care of you... i made a small order with them a week or so back and was treated like i spent thousands... I assume you're not gonna re-order a new pot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predator Bass Baits Posted February 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 No I did not use it, it has leaks and was not safe, He even forgot the ceramic covers for safety of the wires on the heat wrap, also he must have broken his wire crimper's, and lost his thread tape. Honestly I want the pot !! I know that thing will rock !! but I will not give the guy a chance to make another one for me if this is how my first one would come. I am trying to track down equipment to make my own. LC is having it picked up and refunding my $ He also wanted to save $ and used a AC motor on the unit with a spead controller that really does not work well, it had should have been a DC motor. I called the company that made the motor and they said that the speed controller and AC motors do not match well and you will get about a 10% decrease in speed controll.

SwampBaits Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 So the guy wanted to cut a few corners!! Or maybe a lot of corners! At least you were wise enough to do a good job inspecting the equipment. Some people would have overlooked all of those issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattlures Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 I also have a 5 gal pot and It is awsome. I might even buy more of them. I did have to put a little grease on mine when I first tried it because it was noisy but the greas made it quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garneau Baits Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Jim, Sorry to hear that. I like my 5gal version alot. It kicks out the baits. My motor on the stirrer works fine for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predator Bass Baits Posted February 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Hey Ted, Is your motor a DC motor ? or a split capacitor AC ? I was told unless you have a 3 phase AC motor it will not speed control well, This motor you have to turn it up to 7 before it kicks on then you can turn it down to 3 before it starts to slow but then a 1/8 turn more and it shuts off, I also just found out that the safety ceramic covers that were forgot to be put on, that if you were to touch the two prongs it would ( KILL ) you, it is worse then a laundry dryer, and the only thing that was a cover for these wires was a home made very, very, very thin tin box that was made out of 3 pieces that did not even seal up, a sqaure box on a round pan, ( very chintsy ) and deadly game. and to boot the wires were not even crimped down, Some people can say I am wrong to post about this pot but Man you just played with my life and that is not cool. I tracked down all the parts to make this thing so I will post my set-up after it is done. A few of the parts will be a few weeks on order.

Garneau Baits Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Jim, I'm not sure but it probably is the same one you had, The speed control acts just like you stated. Like I told you on the phone I thought it could be built if you had the time and tools to do it. good luck, let us know how it comes out and post pics.
