drowning rod
« on: June 01, 2012, 08:16:47 AM »
I got about a hundred foot of 5/8 round stock painted white for free. The surface is very smooth. My question is this, what if any type of lock can I build that will have a good enough bite. If I must I can just cut it all up for stakes. Any and all ideas are welcome. What would you do with it?

I have some MB750's set up on 8ft drounding rods that work great.  You can push them down in the mud or gravel and they anchor and hold well.  It is a simple 'L' bracket that attaches the trap chain to the rod creating a one way slide.
Let me know if you need more info-

Rods work well if your not to far from the truck or boat and have steep banks. Other wise they can get to be a bit to lug around if your on foot and to short if the water don't drop off quick enough..
