Has anyone tried using bamboo as structure? I read in a crappie magazine that they are using bamboo as structure.

Easy to do. Cut the bamboo into 10' lengths or so and load 20 - 30 stalks into a 5 gallon bucket so they look like toothpicks sticking out of a cup/ Then fill the bucket and bottom of the stalks with concrete. I wonder how long bamboo will last underwater? Bamboo is easy to cut, light to haul and easy to work with. I am looking for something other than Christmas trees. I would think that the bamboo would be more lure friendly than Christmas tress and hopefully last longer. Thanks!
