im gonna make about 50 of each kind...think they will work?
They will work. We made over 200 last year. We used 5 to 10 in each location. Remember to use your gps these are hard to find.

looking good KK..i got 1000 ft roll of conduit...and can get about 3-4000 more...should make a few..have you tryed silicone caulking in the ends of the small pipe(making an air space) to make them easier to see on the graph...seems like it would..will deffinantly use the sportrak on them..thanks for the photo bucket..made it easy..
It is alot of work so don`t make real easy to find.
those are nice. wish I had a hundred

I especially like that black one! What's your recipe? What type of conduit is that?Quote:

Free..... Just my price!!!!!!!!!!! Any idea where the paying Joe would find that? Lowes??? I fish on a very shallow lake, and it would work great for me.....Quote:

On the conduit,You some times can go to the phone co's warehouse or the cable T.V.'s & they will give it to you to haul off.
Some of them kinda reminds me of that abstract art stuff.:confused: "Crappie Condo Art"? Might see it on exhibit at the museum next year...:D
cable co. is where the conduit came from...i have a friend that is pretty high up in the co. that got me 3 1000ft rolls of it....there are 17 more that i think he is gonna get...the only thing is it has cable in it...i have cable running out my ears...reckon it could be used in some way...anyone need any cable???Quote:

i thought about it...thought it may make them show up better...but it just falls out each section as i cut it...i got 5ft peices of coax running out my ears..thought it someone close needed or wanted it i could cut it in 100 ft sections and pull it out..i have 2 1000 foot rolls of just coax that have never been opened...i dont need any more...shame to waste it..Quote:

no need to burn all that plastic...I would think it would stay just fine once it sets up in the cement.
I TRIED USING THE CONDUIT BEFORE BUT IT KEPTH COILING BACK UP. How do you get it to not coil up?
un roll it and stretch it tight for a day or 2...then take a little propane torch and heat it up before you cut it...as you can tell in my pics i had the same prob...it may curl some but not near as bad...next ones should be much straighter...
