pretty sure they float. Might take a ton of sack crete to get them held down to the bottom.

i had freind who made condo of them.. was worse then fishing in xmas trees, got snagged almost every cast. would get jig back bout 50% of time

besides playing in the water with them ....

homemade marker buoys
snelled hook holders
used jigs holders
boat bumpers (to go between boat & dock)


As far as using them "with" a condo ... they might be OK to use to help keep one upright, once it's sunk. But, a better alternative to that, would be a gallon milk container or 2-3 litre plastic pop bottle. You won't hang up on the plastic bottles, near as much/often as you probably would on a "Noodle"

Personally, myself ... I don't worry much about hanging up on any of it, since I use weedless jigheads

Swim noodles make great fishing floats to replace jugs. Here is a fish that could'nt hold a 1/3 length of a small diameter noodle.

You can have them noodles for jugs. They dont shine back as good as my flour. orange 20oz bottles. Gotta love the thrill of the chase when a biggun goes under with em . BTW I have both kinds and swore off noodles lol

Bumpers for boats. Cheap and easy to replace. Good call CP.

Only reason to use the noodle for a crappie bed would be to harvest the jigs from folks fishing your structure.
