Thinking of building a few of these aproximatly 8 to 9ft long. Height range is 4ft to 7ft Add a couple of concrete blocks 1/3 from each end should hold them in place Can add almost 2x the number of "limbs" to the structure as shown. All of the dimensions can be modified.
Thoughts???

Those look really good. How are you going to anchor the blocks?

Maybe all thread with a plate and nut? Maybe 3/8 rebar bent at each end? Maybe pour a block with a center hole and run a rope through with a knot on each end??

Heck yeah, good job. I second the post above, on the gps coordinates. If you need help putting them out, just let me know. My wife snagged two Christmas trees, I'm going to put them out on my next trip to my home lake.

VERY COOL. I'll just go ahead and tie a couple of my favorite lures to 'em now and streamline the process.

The Walmart in Marble Falls gave us about 30 Christmas trees. Can’t wait until I’m able to get them out
