Thread: Question On PVC

I made some attractors from PVC and never could see them on my fish finder, now after reading this forum I know why. My question is what do I do to make the show up. I read one post where someone dipped the other end in concrete. I open for any suggestions. I fish some private lakes and have permission to put out attractors. thanks for any help. Here's a picture of one I made and I also made some that were more like trees with branches.

Try some rebar stuck in the (pvc).

On a similar thread some one said you could stuff aluminum foil down in the pvc to make it show up.

I don't want them to show up. I just know where they are. If they show up you will find everyone on the lake on top of them.

I agree with that in public waters but I fish 3 private lakes that drain into each other, I fish 2 or 3 times a week and 99% of the time I'm the only one there except for the full time employee that takes care of them for the owner. I just want to be able to zero in on the easier, even though I have trees and stuff to line up and find them.

if you use a gps don't worry about them not showing up. just trust your gps and catch fish.

Seems like one of the pors has a film out I've watched, built them with the pvc on the horizontal, threaded over a piece of rebar that was set in concrete. Later he showed some films of his locator, they showed up great.

Although, I really need to check our laws on doing setting cover out, but on smaller water or ones you know well, I wouldn't have a bit of problem with having some down that only I knew were there.

Like your design, though, has to be about snag free.

Thanks, and yes it is

Try laying at least one down sideways when you drop them. Here's a picture of one i put in a couple seasons ago


Here's what it looked like when i put it in.


The first spot where i put it didn't produce anything so i moved it to a dropoff and it's been producing pretty good now.
