I knew someone was going to say that!:D.. and it's true to a certain extent.

... but I fish a lot of minnow rigs, especially in the winter... and even the small branches will pull your minnow off the hook.

I think the next ones I make will have 4 smaller canes in the middle with leaves and branches on, but still use the 8 bigger canes on the outside. I'll compare and see which works best.

I'll be dropping these 2 to a spot, so it's gonna be a pretty good amount of canes per spot.

Just got in from drilling the 1/8" holes in the canes, 2 per joint... one at the bottom and one at the top (about 30,000 holes I think), these things aint gonna disapper right after I drop them with all those bubbles.... prolly still be bubbling this time next month!:D

That extra shovel full of portland per bag of concrete mix worked good for a quick set.... that stuff is harder than Chinese arithmetic on page #99 right now!!!
