Thanks! Yup, saw they came out with a winder a few years after I built this one. I like to think this helped inspire them - lol.

Thanks! I appreciate it.

+mywalkingfriend Thanks. The foot pedal is pretty well made. Well worth the money.

Thank you.

Jmichael Isbell Thanks man.

Thank you. Not a craftsman at all. The anodizing process is fairly straight forward using a mixture of the acid the sell for batteries, distilled water and a DC power unit. The dyes can be bought online from a company called Caswell plating.

+anderdw2 Thanks. Wrote up some notes on my blog over at: shinyinsanity.com/homemade-line-winder-preservative-free/ Hope that helps.

It's a Dewalt DW235G. Still have it and it's still going strong.

Yes, that is a piece of aluminum with a threaded rod through the center that I also made.

Hi, sorry but it's been a long time since I built it so not sure I still have those plans. Will have to look.

Thanks. It was an interesting little build. Wish I would have filmed the process.

@@ShinyInsanity I bet , it is well made best one I seen , simple yet strong

ReelKingin Thanks. I have a home setup that I made. It's actually not that hard. You just need a few main things like battery acid, a power supply, distilled water and a few other things. There are a few videos on here how to do it. I might have to make a video of my own one day on the topic.

please do...i got some aluminum and SS fishing pieces I would LOVE to have done.....that would be awesome, ive looked at the videos on here over time and none of them are simple, they make it more difficult than what it really is....thanks for getting back to me

Unfortunately no. Planned and built as I went along

They're on a threaded rod so you can screw them down to touch if you wanted. Very good level of adjustability.

Is there a new link to the details blog? I'm curious on how you did your reel seats.

Sorry, I took my blog down about a year ago. The reel seats are just triangular metal pieces with a thumb screw that pushes the back piece up and puts pressure on the reel foot. Similar to the ones the triangle winder uses.

It's locked in place by friction from the screw down. I clamp the plastic neck of the drill, not the chuck itself.

Sorry, but it's been a long time since I built it so not sure where my plans are for this one.....if I even had a real set or just built on the fly.

Shiny Insanity ok well thanks, look very functional

Sorry Mike, I like that lure a lot so it's not for sale. They still sell them online though if you cannot find them locally.

Thanks for the reply. The 16oz and 26oz have been discontinued for several years. For whatever reason charkbait still has them on their website but I had no luck getting them after a lot of back and forth with them supposedly contacting the manufacturer. If yours is the 26oz I'll give you $100 for it if that sparks your interest.

Thanks for the offer Mike, but I'm going to have to decline. I "think" it's a 26. Wanted to see if I could make one out of stainless as a project at some point.

@@mikechavezjr9533 I have three 26 oz for sale if youre still interested

Too much work to be worth it to me, but thanks.

Sorry, it is not for sale.

Sorry but not for sale....unless it's a really good price 😅

+anderdw2 Nice work on your setup. I like it a lot. The aluminum was just some rectangular tubing that I cut at a 45 degree angle and used a Dremel to create a concave recess to grip the reel seat. Then just drilled and tapped a few holes as needed for the pivot point bolt and the lockdown thumb screw. Most of the materials were acquired on eBay or through onlinemetals.com. Hope that helps.

You have a parts list of what it took to build the system? That would be really helpful for those that would like to do a build..

Could you provide a list for us that would like to build one please?

+Chris Hille I wish I could say that I have gotten better with the camera, but that would be a lie :)

Exactly Chris, I think we should ask for our money back on this free video
