Excellent! Now to find something that would be as special to you as these will be for me.......

Plugs spinning here... as I am sure they are in many of your caves tonight.

RF,
In your picture of the lures in the turner they are all rigged out. Do you completely rig them out (less hooks) before epoxying?

sure do... for my application it works best..I've done it both ways... and I see no advantage to wiring/rigging afterwards.. if anything IMHO, it is more work to rig them afterwards.. any epoxy that gets on the lip can easily be scraped off with a razor in seconds.....straws go over the swivels to keep the epoxy from rendering them useless.. it works for me.. you can see/feel and look at the result at PF.. you be the judge..

All done with epoxying.... Dryer motor spindle came undone last night. So last batch suffered some sagging and blistering from the heating lamp... Will look into a fix for the spinner tonight.
