Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LedHed - I love the look of that pearl/white hard body. It looks really "grub-like".

Can you explain how you make the body.

Thank you!!!!!!

I'd love to join in on the jig swap but unfortunately my jig tying skills just aren't up to the level/quality of most of the folks on this board. So, I'd be wasting eveyone's time.

I am very...

Question. On the wood versus PVC question, with PVC condos like these, why not wedge or secure brush into the ends of the PVS pipes?

Wouldn't that give you the best of both worlds. And the brush...

Crataegus - I am new here and just learning myself so pardon a dumb question.

But I thought that PVC piping sank on its own. If that is the case, why the need to add weight to the crate to sink...

Thanks folks.

I called a plumbing company as you suggested and they're saving me some up for pick up next week.

HI TacoBender - the structure looks great and I am going to try and duplicate it. I am curious why your use the plastic sheets/plates though?

Is it to stop in some way, the piping from turning...

I scored a nice pile of used black plastic ABS water pipe for free.

I have it in a bunch of different sizes but primarily 4 inch and 1 1/2 inch. Is there an easy way to drill holes into the...

Okay - I've had it fighting with cinder blocks trying to sink wood structures.

I've got to try some of the neat PVC condos you folks have been building.

Sure would appreciate it if folks could...

I am going to drive a bunch of stakes into the bottom of the lake in 15 - 20 feet of water.

How tall / far off the bottom should the stakes stick? I've got a bunch of stakes that are about 4 1/2...

Hi folks - I just posted this on the main board and realise I should probably have posted it here instead.

Here was my request:

Hi folks.

I am an avid trout angler who lives in the north and who also enjoys ice fishing for crappies in the winter. I tie my own trout flies so I was thinking of tying up a bunch of small jigs...

Thanks Jeff.

I presume you then attempt to drive the stake in 3 feet. Do you ever encounter problems pushing it that far into the lake bed? Never having done it I am wondering if pushing it that...

Thanks Jeff.

QUick followup. How much space should I leave at the end of the rammer to put the end of the stake into?

DR Kellogh - I read your post below about using a rammer to push a PVC pipe into the bottom of the lake.

How long of a rammer have you used? Do you think it would be possible to push a...

I am going to order some of these jigs but would appreciate knowing what everyone thinks are the best color combinations.

So here is my question - if you were limited to "one" T.H.E. jig for...

Thanks everyone!

Thanks - visited the site but can't see where you order them?

Are they bucktails or craft hair or something similar.

What sizes do they come in?

Thanks

A friend was telling me about a jig called T.H.E. jigs

I forget what it stands for but they're tiny bucktails and I'd appreciate it if someone could provide a website link where I can see what...

I apologize - I thought I was posting this on the general discussion forum but see that I erred and put it on the structure forum.

Sorry - still would be interested in the answer though.

I am curious to know if folks tip their small 1/32 ounce size jigs - like the ones skiptomylou shows in his post below?

It seems to me they should catch crappies without adding a minnow or maggot...

Hi everyone.

The lakes I ice fish for crappies iare reasonably small and quite popular - but not very many folks plant cover.

I am thinking that if I make some structure/cover I can bunch up...
