These are just a few of the many we built this winter. They measure 4 feet bt 8 feet with the stakes standing 3 feet high. We try to put them in 10 to 12 feet of water. They were put in the lake very early in the morning for obvious reasons. They may have been placed in your lake. They work very well. Thanks.

Those look great. What kind of weights, how much weight, and where do you place the weight to sink them? They look like they would have a lot of flotation.

Questions of the day.....:confused:
How much weight does it take to sink one? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

You must use a barge to transport em to your spot? ? ? ? ? ? ?

And how good do they show up on your graph? ? ? ? ? ? ?

And they do look great.... you must have a freezer full of crappie......;)

Oh my God !!!! Thats one heck of a build!

It takes 2 concrete blocks to sink those, one on each end. There are 5 rows of stakes and the 2 center rows are spaced to where you can slip the concrete blocks over the stakes and they sit on the frame. We have a big jon boat rigged to where we can put the stakes bed in the boat, slip the blocks over the ends, and a big ole strong man to shove them off the boat. It's really not to bad if your set up right. The hardest part is getting them exactly where you want them, on the edges of the creeks,ends of bars and etc. I don't know what they would look like on some units but on my little ols eagle fish finder they look like a big ole casket on the bottom of the lake. I say that because there is always so many bait fish around them there is nothing to extinguish. I believe alll in all we built 160 of these and we put 2 to a set. We're just a bunch of good ole guys having fun and catching crappie and having fish fries. What a life.

Sharp lookin' stakebeds!;):)
