P. justplugit 01-22-2007, 12:41 PM Put some sun lamps in there, while your at it P., sooz ya can maintain you tan. :hihi: capesams 01-22-2007, 12:51 PM dayton grearmotor mod. 3m103...full load rpm..10 does a 10' 4" pvc pipe with 6 surf rods clipped on at once for hours on end...works very well on plugs too. 3m104 does 6 rpm.but maybe to slow for thin poxies. Mugz 01-22-2007, 12:56 PM The ones I have are 4 to 5 rpm...... Woodbuster 01-22-2007, 01:47 PM 4-5 rpm seems to be good. I made one of those ferris wheel types to do 12 at a time but learned the hard way that the plugs must be secured in a way that they cant rotate on the hooks. Epoxy warts are an ugly thing :doh: I found that taping the tail loop to the hook works. Rockfish9 01-22-2007, 02:23 PM Mine runs around 15rpm.. you can use gears/chain or belta/pulleys to get the desired speed... numbskull 01-22-2007, 06:26 PM I had a 18 rpm motor, spun too fast for plugs that aren't round. Got a Dayton shaded pole gear motor 3M098 turns 4 rpm. I like it. Probably $65.......don't remember exactly. Rockfish9 01-23-2007, 08:43 AM If I were to build another spinnner (which I may at the end of this plug building season) I would opt for a AC/DC gear motor with Electronic speed control, Then, rather than changing speeds by changing belts and driven gear (as I can do now if the need arrises) I could change speeds with a turn of a dial..... vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2025, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.
