    I got tired of reading on the 3rd page, so if this has been covered... sorry


    Why not just attach your yo-yo to a pool noodle, only takes a 12" piece of noodle to float it, and a 16" piece of 3/4" pvc pipe to run thru the noodle, then drill a hole and tie the yo-yo to the pvc. Noodles are only $1 or $2 and you can get 3-4 pieces per noodle, thus only adding $0.50 to the cost of each yo-yo, and then it will look like a jug catfishing. Put some reflective tape ont he noodle so if you are running at night they will shine with spotlight.

    Just a redneck's idea on how to save a dollar.

    Because the yoyo will be under water so you can't see the fish plus they will have slack to get off. If using a noodle i have the best type.
    Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.

    There 29.99/dozen at walmart. Seems like they were only 16.99/dozen a few years ago.

    I just built one of the square pvc ones a couple days ago. As long as you take your time looking around you can get the materials pretty cheap. I built mine out of 1". I tend to over build things lol. Elbows where .50ea, tees where .70ea, and a 1"x10' 200psi pvc was 1.80 or 1.90 something. Got everything at lowes.

    My buddy and i made a dozen a week or so ago. They didn't float. I don't know if we made them to small (12" square), or it was he bought schedule 40 1" pipe. Were going to cut up some swim noodles to put on each side.

    That may be a little small but not sure. I havent had a chance to test mine yet but it is filled with great stuff so it should float. I will go throw it out on a pond tomorrow and make sure it floats. I made this one a 20" square but after testing it i will probably make the rest 18"
