Not the eating kind, but the fish attracting kind. Looks like we may have a slow day Friday so me and the boys may build some crappie condos at the shop.

Check with Batesville casket company in Batesville ,Ms . They used to give us the handles that did not pass inspection .
Thought they closed eagle? Ain't that instuform or something now, or did batesville casket change location?

Know its a few miles for you to drive. But theres a hickory handle mill in Crump Tn. I think they charge $40 per bundle. These are around 4ft long full 2.5" I think been a while. I used to burn a bundle when I used the big offset smoker. Burn them down to coals to keep that baby fired up. They bundle them into big bundles. One will fill a pickup truck bed full. I have hauled 3 on a 16ft Car hauler trailer.
These will have bark or a bad spot. So there seconds, can't make a sledge hammer handle out of them. Everyone around here uses these for Smoking BBQ. But when they have them, will sell to anyone. Not bad for hickory and there ready to drive into the ground. Plan on picking up 4 bundles to put in this winter.
I may have to go get a big load. Take them south and set up. Sell them to poor crappie guys around Sardis, Enid and Grenada.. Or for the waypoints might haul a couple bundles down.
Also check with lumber sheds, they will at times give you the pieces that lumber are stacked on. These are most times 2x2's and 4ft long. I have seen some yards burn a truck load that was stacked up. I have around 3500 10ft pieces of 1/2", 3/4" 1" and 3" PVC, that I bought for this. Found a steal and got all that for I think $225. And have made thousands of Kay Bobbers out of it also. So the rest will be a tax write off and go into Yellow creek, Dry creek and the main lake this winter. Plan on taking 3 to 5 each time I head out fishing.
Anyone ever drive these into the lake like the wood sticks? I know a guy that did Bambo that way. So the PVC should work.
Thanks, will do some calling around. I can get mater stakes for $50 a bundle of 100 each 8 ft long. But free is always good.. and daggum ShilohRed if my math is correct that's over 6 1/2 miles of PVC.. some guys have all the luck. Pvc or bamboo would be ideal, but do like the hickory tip in Crump also.
What the heck is a Kay Bobber?

Snubby where can you get those matter stakes ? I have been trying to buy 100 but can not find em anywhere.
Local landscaping / nursery outfit. Kind of an overstock deal. Money ain't changed hands yet.. I kind of cornered them on 'em in passing conversation.. lol. They see this thread my price may double.... ;-)Quote:

Thanks and I will do the same !
Snubbys, we can cut a load of boo close to my house. 4 or more people, couple of chainsaws and a couple of trailers we can get a good load in a few hours.
I have 100 5 to 8 ft 1 to 3 years old boo stakes in the garden that will need replaced in the spring. I could get new ones when we cut.
Sounds fine too me Mr. Jimmy, I got a 16ft trailer, a couple of stout young fellas and myself. We could knock down a good bit for you in a couple few hours for sure. Help you load and unload yours as well. Send me a PM on a roundabout good date for you. No hurry, we taking a 4 day break for Thanksgiving this week, try to do some good eating and a little deer huntin. Thanks for the offer!Quote:

The old Purina Mills place off Airways in Memphis is a pallet place now. It's on Jonah ave, off of Person ave. They sit their scrap wood at the gate for anyone to pick up. Might talk with them to get a bundle.
