How long did that take? Do you have any pictures of the build? Did you make all the branches the same length?
Thanks, it looks great.
By the way, is it set so you can't hook it?

Thanks Guys, I built 4 of them, took bout 2hours each. The only pictures i took were these finished. And yes the main branches are different length, i didnt measure anything just cut at random. can't wait to finish the pond to install them ! and i ran a crank bait with two treble hooks through it, and it didnt hang up.

That is the best PVC structure I've ever seen on the forum. Wow, creative concept and very nicely done. I guarantee that's going to hold fish - many fish!
How will you anchor it and prevent it from tipping? I used 5 G bucket with some quickcrete but forgot to add rebar feet on my first couple efforts. Once the forum reminded me to add them, they quit tipping over.

hey dog, i would do as teehjaeh57 said set them in something with concrete with rods sticking out the sides to prevent them from tipping over then let them down with a small rope, then use the rope to tie a duck decoy on to mark them. for me it will be easy cause i'm digging the pond now.

Excellent advice on using decoys as markers - I do the same. Work great.

The only thing I don't like about a permanent marker like the deke is fighting a fish into the string.
