    Default cheap bucket stake beds


    Built another 20 small cheap bucket stake beds. Used 5 gallon buckets cut in half. Added concrete and 6 Cedar stakes to each one. Only thing paid for was concrete which I buy busted bags at a discount. Probably spent well under .50 per stakebed. They are less than 3' tall and will be sunk in water that averages 6 to 9' most of the year. Works great for vertcle jigging heavy jigs , you can feel them on your line. They last about forever and hang ups are to a minumum unlike brush piles.

    About 4 or 5 but I only use enough concrete to hold togather stakes and then place a rock on top to help bind them in.
