Some are using fun noodle pieces over some of the tubing arms to add bulk and shade. I've recently been told that the floatation quality of the foam breaks down over a couple days being submerged. Has anyone had any experience with this material breaking down buoyancy wise? I understand slipping on a piece over the tubing doesn't really involve buoyancy....just wondering on behalf of a different application. Thank you and Good Fishing, Mac
Im not sure how long the will stay together, but I was thinking about using some to tie in the top of trees to keep them standing. I guess I need to know too!
I use noodles for Catfishing. I have had some for several years now and never had a problem with them being water logged.
weight one down in a five gallon bucket see how long it hold up i say know more then two weeks it will become waterlogged. john
Crappie Dan, I've switched my noodle floatation thinking over to styrafoam as being a better alternative. Something the wildlife agent told me would work for you.....use a waterbottle, the type they sell water in, they will last forever. I'd drill a hole in the cap, run a piece of mason's twine through and tie on a small piece of plastic. Insert the plastic into the bottle and turn on the cap. If you want a seal, run a little silicone where the twine enters the bottle then finish by tying the other end onto the tree. In a few years the tree will rot and the bottle will float to the top and litter...you may want a long piece of mason's twine tied to the weight, then loop it at the trunk of the tree in a couple spots, the last loop near the top....then when the wood rots away it will stay put on the weight.
John, thanks again for posting......just wondered if anyone else had had experience.
