Chip.....great idea. I love stuff like this. After putting out 5 "store bought" Sputniks this summer, I made some of my own this past spring. I used 10'irrigation (rubber lined) pipe and 1/2 inch pvc.......If you can imagine a 10' long Sputnick that is what they looked like. I am sorry I did not take pictures to show. I made one big mistake however I wish I could get a "do over" on. I did not weight them down thinking that the "arms" would bury in the mud and that they were heavy enough not to move.....WRONG. I can't find a one of the 8 I put out. I am sure they are housing fish however so in someways it worked real well......Again, great idea......thanks for the details
