Full DIY Lure Machine
Want to build your own lure machine? We’ve got you covered.

While we offer complete kits—both ready-to-assemble and fully pre-assembled—we at Salty Talon Equipment completely get it: sometimes you just want to grab the raw parts, roll up your sleeves, and build it on a budget. Everything can be purchased from Amazon with the exception of the spool. While we do sell the spools, its purely optional for you to buy one from us.
To help you get started, we’ve rounded up the core components you'll need below, along with a wiring diagram to take out the guesswork.
