fcuktheban 140 Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 I just made a quick video on how I made my drag lure. I will put up some pictures of it on here later. Please go easy on me I've never made a video before. 1 Quote Link to post
fcuktheban 140 Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Took a few pictures of my drag lure today. I'll make a video of it in use tomorrow. The slack in the string is normal and doesn't interfer with it's performance. You have to wear a glove and help the string onto the spool. Not a big deal since you are there already working the speed of the motor by a rubber button under the motor. Quote Link to post
Fabapocalypse 35 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Are they wire traces? I'd be a bit worried about my dog's mouth/feet if he catches the lure if they are. Quote Link to post

No they are nylon but the dog shouldn't be able to get close enough to catch it. It stops very quickly also. Quote Link to post
Guest dances Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 What motor is that and where did u get it mate? Quote Link to post
rapidjenky 97 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 looks like a starter for a petrol r/c car,plane,heli ect. dose it run fast enough with enough torque to keep the lure going quick enough? suppose if it works you could just stand there with it in your hand and set it away, no need for the box.

Yes it's an rc starter motor (ebay), I used the specs from wicked coursing's baby lure so the drag is fine if you follow their reccomended line length and a light weight fur. You can do it without the box but it would be harder to manage the line if you do get a snag. The last thing you want is the motor ripping out of your hand with the line wrapped around your finger and the dogs trying to take off with it. Not to mention it's easier to carry all the supplies and keep it water safe. If you don't want to sit by it and run it you can get a strap attached to it and hold the machine.
