I have yet to put anything this deep. I build crappie holes for lake front property owners, and usually build a reef type structure going from shallow to deep. The deepest I've done so far is about 25 feet - but the only reason I haven't put anything deeper is that I have not had a client who has access to water that deep from their pier.
I use a variety of materials, but use a PVC tree most of the time. I like it because you can join as many as you need together (they are so tight that you don't even need glue) to make it as tall as you want. Check out fishingholebuilders.com to see these trees.
As far as making a reef - it's just a line of structure going down a slope so that you can have good fishing during a lot of different seasons. I often start out with a porcupine fish attractor in the shallower section, and often mix in some natural structure.
I would think your structure that is this deep would work best either in the middle of winter or the middle of summer. I think the makeup of your lake or river has a lot to do as to if this will work being this deep. Please update us as to how this works out.

I'm going to try the 45' hole in the morning, rain or shine!

Depth is relative to average lake depth , water color, temp , and season on each lake.
