Hey if you do use a lawn mower when you put the base plate on give it a bit of a lip that way the blades give it a good mince up and it kind of just keeps slopping over the lip into the water as opposed to being fired out the side

Just updating this thread.. I am looking at making a berley machine that will make mussel berley as I believe it doesnt attract stingrays like a fish/salmon based berley will do.. any thoughts please ?

Thanks for your like re my lathe driven mincer (2015)
Unbelievable volume of berley produced (mainly skippys) since then,still going strong

That's what I ended up rangiing up.
Works ok for meat and fish frames but I think mussel shell would give the blade and plate a pretty hard time.

Nice work! I have thought about doing the same thing but instead I end up roughly chopping up my leftovers and taking them out with me the next day when spending time on great Barrier Island (spearfishing)

thats pretty swish

what happens when it binds, my horey one just slips the belt so its kind of like a clutch

FYI stingray passes thru those realy easy if cut into big strips so if you want bulk burley just set the mullet net

It just stalls out if overloaded, it's not super gruntey.

I found the same with kahawai skin in mine, it has to be one of the harder things to mince up

stingray are super meaty and they flow thru the mincer like a knife thru butter if you find the need for a packer for a strong oily brew to stretch it out
i cant ever remember a time Iv taken too much burley out when chasing snapper. its super cool to be able to be border line wasteful with it, makes for some cool excited fish
