    You better be buying your concrete soon its been going up in price. Those should work just fine.

    TAE is right. Concrete will sometimes double when the warm weather arrives. Demand goes way up for the sack crete.

    Although jigs will hang up more often in wood it is more environmentally responsible as it will eventually degrade.

    Hope your branches are hardwood like oak. Cedar also works well. Untreated pine breaks down too quickly.

    Keep your branches at least 10 inches apart out the outer edges.

    Good Luck and Good Fishing

    Default branches

    If you have a mud bottom you could try to push the branches in the mud, then you need no concrete, even cheaper, might cut an angle on one end and make beds that way.
