Thread: Which style would work best

I really like the bottom best I think it would be easier to fish.

I like that one also because I can make it 6-8 foot in length

yea I may make some like that except I'm going to use wood uprights looks like a great idea.

Not a good idea to use treated wood .Some states don't allow putting some stuff in the water . I would use quickcrete to set pipe if it was me .

Like I tell others...Crappie cover has to serve a purpose for Crappie! It has to provide safe hiding, ambush pints, shade and rest area, or a food station. And then you try to provide cover in areas that connect their entire environment so it continually produces throughout the year.
So what does your cover provide? How many Crappie can fit in It? How many pieces of cover are needed to hold enough crappie to fish it, and if you take fish, what does it provide to attract mored fish so it will replenish?
And Nimrod is correct, treated wood is normally "treated" with Arsenic or other poisons to deter bugs and deterioration....not a good Crappie attractor!lol

I really like the first one, all plastic.

Thanks for the input guys, i never thought about the treated lumber so glad you pointed it out. Originally i started drilling holes in 4" pvc sewer pipe, but i had lots of trouble breaking the pipe with paddle bit, regular bit, auger bit and forsener bit. That was getting very frustrating So i decided to switch to wood upright. Not sure what type of drill bits you use with pvc but i was tired of buying 7/8ths inch bits at @20 bucks a pop looking for one that wouldn't break the plastic. Ill have to switch the upright to regular wood.

Hardwood limbs or timber will last for decades...
