Poured the concrete around the stub in the box. Rest were the standard connections on the end of the pipe

When I built mine I run a longer rod threw the pole. I fish a 6 inch hole so I made my rods 8 inches It saves alot of pole in a season it can't go down Because the rod won't let it . It might come off the stand if Abigail fish hits it. If u fish a 8 inch hole make your pivoting rod then 10 inches.trust me it works keeping your equipment. Good luck!

Did you order from them? It was a hit n miss with me. First order from them was great. So I ordered again. Got a dead grapevine from them in the second order n a Pom tree that was half the size of the one I got from them the first time. I even hinted that I may have received a dead vine from them but they denied it by saying grapevine are different from other plants n trees. That you will see white underneath when doing the scratch test. 🤦‍♀️

I got them from my local ag store. I think tractor supply also has them.

Spiny Water fleas. They are a pain in summer months. Use 30# and up mono on downrigger rods and wire on any dipsy rods to reduce buildup.

it is only locked into the base when in storage mode. When it is fully deployed/set up for fishing, the rod is only sitting in the base via the nail which allows easy pickup to fight the fish. My goal in making this was for something that was relatively compact and didn't have multiple pieces floating around in a bucket.

Locks down????

Slight design tweak, if you cut the top side shorter of the rod tip box/protector it makes it easier to get the pole tip into the box to store/pack up

In the spring the fish are shallow and you can catch them with stick baits. Summer you'll need downriggers or something to get your bait deep. Boards allow you to spread the lines letting you get more in the water without getting tangled.

Josh Bestle well dont own a down rigger . i fish with a 3 leader seth green rig so this is my down rigger .i usualy fish with 60 foot of top line and with the3 leaders it makes it 90 ft

South end

ok thanks

Sorry to hear that. Willis from the sounds of it is a gamble. I wound up making out in my order but I've heard lots of bad things about their service. I would not get anything expensive from them and I do not agree with their policies on charging. if I remember correct they bill you first and if you want to cancel etc. it is a pain. read their policies carefully because they have a lot of catches in it. I almost didn't make my order. so I would only get the cheaper items from them. on the contrast I think StarkBros is great. I have never had an issue with them and their service is awesome. if there is an issue call them up and they'll do what they can to make it right. of the original trees I believe I have all of them still alive and kicking. I'll do an update to these soon.

It may work out for the best. Willis was so irritating that I am learning air layering, grafting, cloning, cold stratification of seeds and searching for local suppliers. But I might try the StarkBros recommendation in the fall. I will be putting in 30 more fruit trees, I am glad I only made a small order with Willis Orchard.

Wish I had seen your comment sooner. I believe sent me a dead grapevine . Did scratch test right when I received it n it was white underneath. They said grapevines are different from typical fruit trees and plants. That the cambium is white. Well, how do they explain that my other grapevine in my yard is green underneath when I did the scratch test. It’s one a dead stick. And they only offered credit for the purchase price. I only find it fair that they replace it when it was received dead to begin with.

Josh Bestle the photobucket link seems to be dead...

Josh Adkins thanks for the feedback. I got rid of the Photobucket link (never really liked photobucket) and added it to my google pics. Hopefully that will work better, let me know if you have issues with this new one. Thanks, Josh

How do I see your Google pictures?

I'd like to get the dimensions also.

Dimensions are in the video description. Click on link and download photo. Easy to make and better than I've seen available for sale anywhere! These are super sensitive and trouble free. They fold up and store nicely. Amazing design. Thank you for sharing the idea and plans. Couldn't make a better or a cheaper design if I tried. Only problem I've had with them...... everybody wants me to make them for them and here in NY we are allowed 7 lines......so 7 tip downs for 5 people means I got to make 35 now.....other than that it's been great!

@@TheSnetsinger the link is in the description. Click on it and download the picture. Or if this link works download it here....let me know if you get the plans. If not I'll send them another way. They are well worth making. photos.google.com/share/AF1QipMtifoDZc_Ug3rzEI0o4Vv9cS47JDGjW8IpxpXRLWpwL56MO8ZbCaZLLOfZlExCWA?key=bWUwNmtqMXFFWW02eTJQYXhfRzZReEIxZ2dOSnln
