Is it worth it?

I just hate to turn that much PVC down, yet I hate to go through the effort to make the buckets if they wont produce when I can do it on tried and true boo

I think I'ld do both.

Mix the PVC and the boo. The boo will hold fish quicker and the PVC will remain to hold the fish after the boo is gone. Just my $.02.

Treed, I want to give you my idea since you seem to have the bulk of the materials. We've all seen jimmy houstons plastic cone with 279' of plastic tubing making a permanent plastic snag free stump. What about instead of the hi $ cone you used a plastic 30 or 55 gal drum and fitted the tubing thru it, pour a bunch of gravel thru the top hole, and push it over the side. I think the effect would be the same and with enough gravel it wouldn't move with the current and would be too heavy or awkward to "steal". Whatchathink?

Man if you can get for free take it! I drop both PVC and wood/boo, they both work.

I haven't seen this. I've seen Bill Dance's ball, but not Jimmy Houston's cone. Where might one look at it?
