    Default Rope or wire to tie brush down?


    I’m gathering materials to start sinking oak and sweet gum trees with a jug in the top to float them upright. What should I use to tie the trees to the blocks and the jug to the trees? I was considering galvanized wire or nylon rope. Just curious what the consensus is to use.

    Wire. You'll hang up in rope.

    I kind of worried about that exact thing. Nothing would hang a jig like rope.

    Those are probably the easiest to use if you get the large ones.

    We have habitat day on the big 4 in north Mississippi in February. One lake will give us aluminum wire for tying. Another will give us the cord used for pulling wires through conduit, looks like a bunch of fishing line. Another will give us clothesline cord. Another will give us 3/8" rope.
    I've seen the plastic strap used on pallet loads, kinda hard to tie.
    Try not to use steel. Galvanized and copper aren't good for the fish.

    That's fantastic information. I hadn't thought about the galvanized possibly being a problem. I will look for aluminum wire.
