They look pretty sweet. Should work great and shouldn't get hung up on them either.

So...where exactly are you going to put those. I would like to do a little "research" on the effectiveness before I build some of my own Looks good, can't wait for them to move back up. Love me some crappie

From what I've read as long as it is not a navigational hazard to boats and is a nontoxic item (pvc and concrete) it is ok PHFH

We have had decent luck on the pvc "crappie condo's", they last for a long time too. For some reason ours haven't been as productive as Brush and Bamboo, but they do work and we have caught some big slabs off of them. One of our favorite piles is a mix of Bamboo and PVC in 18' of water, but it is all piled around an old fallen tree laying on the bottom too. You will catch some fish off of those no doubt. Get a good gps mark on em, they are hard to see sometimes even with the new side scan / down scan.
Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

Well done. Looks great and those will hold fish I bet. I would suggest that you place something at the bottom so those do not tip over. Just a suggestion. Like this...

Looks good! I wish our water levels were deep enough to use something like that.

Last ones we put out at night, had a boat with side scan fishing them the next afternoon. But yes, they will work put in the right water
