Default Is it worth it?

I have access to all the boo I want.....HOWEVER I have access to about 600ft of 1.5" PVC and about 1000' of black irrigation pipe (very flexible but stiff enough to stand up). I have not used PVC before. Should I just stick to boo or should I go ahead and get the PVC and irrigation pipe and use it? I will continue to make boo, but is it worth my time to do the PVC when I could be using my resources on boo?

built the boo for the areas with less current and the pvc for areas with greater current.

Each will hold fish BIG TIME. With a good GPS, YOU will be the guy with the locations for next spring. Now that can't be a bad thang. <><

I hope so. Seems like a lot of free material not to use. Just they'll come to it. I see a lot of people use PVC but when it comes down to it, should I use boo instead?

I've sunk quite a bit of 'boo and have never used any PVC. But if someone offered me that much of the stuff, I think I would try to figure out a way to use it.

I would try some of it, but the boo will out produce by a long shot.. I have used both , but all I use now is boo ( the last 2 years ) Hard to beat it for the short term, but for long term, You can't beat wood, tree tops and a block in 18 to 24 foot of water.
I catch fish on the pvc, 2 or 3 on each. Sometimes I catch 15 to 20 on one cane bucket. 5 to 10 on the wood, but there is alway fish on that wood.

I have used pvc in several spots. They have been out for years. Have yet to catch a fish on them. They were placed in good spots too. I'd stick with the boo. CF

I think you should stick with the boo and send the PVC to me so I can despose of it for you.
