DanD Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 I've made a few of these chum funnels before. For the sake of scale, the bolts are 1/4 inch in size. The first one I made, I found the funnel in the kitchen cupboard; wife never did find out where it went. Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirCranksalot Posted January 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 thx guys. Brian- why a 'thing of the past'? that funnel looks interesting. What's the purpose of the bolt on the lid---just to add weight/ I assume you need a friction fit between the lid and the funnel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at least there's 2 of us that know this simple method works like a charm. If you're real lucky, the rock will knock out the fish and it will come floating up for an easy catch. ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioFisherman Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 I have never fished on the ice, but I made one years ago out of a plastic mustard container with a screw on lid. It was a bigger item though, like 1/2 gallon? I put a small screw eye with a couple of fender washers and a nut holding the eye to the lid and a 3-4 ounce lead weight bolted to the bottom and drilled 1/4 inch holes in the container. The plan was to attach a piece of parachute cord to the eye and drag it along the bottom on a drift an create a chum line, or tie it to a tree or dock and have it as a fish attract-er.

DRIFTER_016 Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 I built one of the Grey/Bruce ones years ago. Mostly used it for chumming with spawn out of the boat when jigging whities up on Georgian Bay. Got a stubby solid glass rod and old reel with 60# mono on it for deployment.

The bolt has two jobs; on the way down it helps to keep the lid from opening. When the funnel is on the bottom and you lift up on the retrieval line; the funnel flips upside down and the weight of the bolt helps to pull the lid open. Dan.
