PLUG DRYER FINITO

[chefchris401]

How are you going to attach the plugs to the spinner?

I see the hooks on the spinner.

Are you going to wire the plug first and use the thru wire?

Or some sort of screw eyes in the plug?

Interested in knowing how you guys rig the plug on the spinner

Chris I have a couple of ideas. I would like to figure something that I would be able to use on every plug. I am going to look for a decent spring that I may use on both ends. We both know that 1/8 rod doesn't extend all the way through some plugs, like swimmers, whose suspension inside the dryer will be more difficult. Canal pencils, or needles should be easy, or rather easier. As you suggested screws on some plugs may be just the ticket to get the job done, as long as the screws eyes thread doesn't damage the entry hole it is screwed into.

I've tried a dozen if I've tried one methed of hooking plugs to a spinner...and settled on pre rigging and having adjustable hooks and swivels on the far end.. I can put the exact tension I need and have 2" of adjustment.. each wheel holds 6( 8") plugs ( 2 per length,) 3 wheels...I've tried springs and hate them.. I use sections of jack chain varying from a single link to as many as i need to get the job done.. for darters or fresh water( small) plugs, I use a small length of rigging wire ( cutoffs from my tail wraps) and make elongated "s" shapes, pinching them tight around the eye... I epoxy while the plug is spinning ( rotissary style).. I find this much eaiser than putting playing cards in lip slots,fighting to get screw eyes out that are epoxied in etc... when I still have to rig the plug so doing it ahead is a no brainer for me... any epoxy that dribbles on the lip is eaisily cleaned off with a razor knife.. it saves alot of time and makes spinning alot eaiser... there are pictures here of my spinner(s) with plugs on them somewhere..
