   Sounds promising! Let us know how it turns out. Also – some guys use the variable speed motor out of an old rotisserie…you can usually find one for free on Craigs List or at yard sales.

   Hi kipsus – search …
   Hi kipsus – search for “drying motor” at cabeals or on ebay. You’ll see some for around $25. If you buy one on ebay, make sure it has a plug attached to it (if it doesn’t, it’s actually pretty easy to add one – just bring it to home depot and they can show you how and give you the parts for about $4). Try to stay in the 8 to 12 RPM range on ebay if you can.

   Great video! I’ve seen people use really gigantic motors and big rotators but this machine actually holds as many lures or even more and is a lot smaller!

   Thanks for the question Xinter! The hole acts as a pilot hole for the screw. The screw threads will be slightly thicker than the pilot hole caused by the nail and you’ll still get a very strong hold in there. If you add the epoxy as mentioned below, you won’t have any issues at all. I’ve never had one pop out. Hope that helps!

    I like that Idea, but, Doesn’t the hole that the nail leaves weaken the strength of the eye hook threads to the body?

    Thanks for the support! Now that the weather is cooling off here in New England, I have much more time in the shop to build my tackle for next season. I hope to be posting a few more videos right after the holidays. Stay tuned!
