It looks good but how you gonna sink it? I've been making some out of pvc pipe. I stick 5 sticks of 3/4" pvc in a bucket of concrete, drill holes randomly in the pipe and stick 1/4" irrigation tubing tubing about 3' long trough the holes. Then I take two pieces of the larger irrigation tubing and shove down into the end of the pvc. I'll see if I can post a pic.
These aren't complete but you get the idea. When finished they will have holes drilled randomly through each piece of PVC and I'll insert the 1/4" tubing through them to kind of create limbs. I've built them in various heights all the way from 3' tall to 7' tall depending on how deep of water I intend to dunk them.

Both of those are pretty neat and should attract a lot of fish.
I pefer real wood but those look good.
Look good
Fetmo, I really like the looks of it. Especially if it stays upright, it should produce some good fish. I like how everything turns upwards....should limit snags. Did it take long to assemble?
Looks good Fetmo! Should be snag free! I would mix up some Quik-Crete real soupy and pour about a foot deep into the big pipe. It should have a low center of gravity and it doesn't take much weight at all to sink PVC.
X2 what slab says
Both look good to me, but I do see a concern about the top one staying upright.

thats the advantage of sinking your fish attractors in conjuction with your scuba gear!!! i will lower attractor to the bottom set it precisly where i want it. then i can put big rocks and what not on legs to help hold it all down. I do plan on puttin a lil quickkrete in big tube.

Well, now you can just drive it to where you're taking it! I like it. I made a couple a few years ago. I put expanding foam in the top of the tube about a foot deep, and then put couple cinder blocks wired to the bottom. So the tube floats up, and the blocks keep it suspended off the bottom about 10".
Fetmo , did you cut air relief holes in those tires? Sure easier to sink that way.
Looks Good Larry now bring em here to Conway I'll show you some Cypress to set em around. Might not be good for your diving tho. LOL Cracks me up every time I think about you diving on em after watching that video. Be careful you might get overly excited down there when you swim up to that school of 2-3lbers.
oh yeah atleast 3 holes in each

I need to hire you to come and drag some of mine a little closer together.
Nice, Honey hole's got nothin' on that fish holding magnet!! Well done.
If it lays over, no worries the fish will relate to it all the same. We have guys who purposly lay them down facing towards shore for even more snag proof power.
If it blows over above ground in a stiff wind, it will possibly fall over in the drink too.
