is that I make a bundle out of 4 stalks of bamboo anywhere from 5 to 8' long, tie them together at a joint of the branches with 14AWG THHN copper wire. I try to get stalks that are real bushy with branches the entire length. I then make a master bundle out of 4 of the small bundles for a total of 16 stalks. I tie all this together with a piece of 10AWG THHN copper wire and tie this to a concrete block with the holes filled with concrete and a piece of 10AWG THHN copper threaded threw the holes in the blocks. To make sure it stands up straight on the bottom, I tie a Chlorox bottle to the top of the biggest stalk of bamboo, or biggest bundle with 14AWG THHN copper wire. Don't know how long the bamboo will last but my wire will be there when I'm dead and gone fishing somewhere else
