[Fly Rod]

Takes me ten minutes to make 5 gals. of chum using herring.

You need 5 gal. bucket, drill with 1/2inch chuck and approx. a 3 ft. long steel paint stirrer approx. 20 bucks.

Drill 2 holes off center, one to the left and one to the right of center size of a penny in a 2x4 Do not drill to deep. Stick a penny in each hole so that you do not drill through the 2x4 Do not drill holes to close to the sides or you will cut the bucket.

Take the square paint stirrer cut up from bottom on the 2 thin sides approx. 1 1/2 inches from bottom, do not cut 1/2" center rod at this time. After that Cut center 1/2" rod close to bottom of bottom thin blade.

Now you should have the two thin sides and top blade and 1/2" steel rod. Sharpen both sides of all 3 thin pieces.

Should take no more then an hour to make. The center rod should be longer then the blades to fit in hole with the penny and you do not want the blades to hit the 2x4

Cut approx. 5-6" hole in center of bucket cover, fill bucket half way with water put gadget in place fill bucket through hole with herring and let the drill do the work. You may want to adjust the water depending on how thick or soupy you want the chum
