Very Cool DIY Stakeout Pole for under $15.00- Homemade shallow water anchor

[@TheSkeeter02]

Exactly what I was thinking by using the anchor guide but rope will be a little more loose. Right on point. Simplicity

[@everythingisenergyenergyis3801]

did i miss the part where you show what kind of pole you bought?

[@vladislavvictor6659]

Number one video about this. Thank you.

[@sampoole8058]

Great job brother

[@UGrove16]

Great video! Definitely a lot cheaper than the brand name versions. You think this would be sturdy enough for a 12 foot jon boat?

[@greatamericansurvival]

Yes. As long as your not in heavy current.

[@missfishbish4843]

Thank you! Couldn't bring myself to buy a pole for $70 off Amazon or Cabela's, glad I didn't!

[@FishnTheSouthOkanagan78]

very helpful video, it would've been more helpful if you had every item of material with the links to the materials that were used

[@greatamericansurvival]

Most of it is straight from Homedepot. Garden stake and some pVC pieces I literally walked around building it in the store. 😀

[@AOKUrbanHomestead1]

Love love this. Will absolutely try it.

[@kevinmedeiros9281]

How has it held up? I am looking to make one. Thank you

[@greatamericansurvival]

Still going strong, I made two when I made these. Both are still being used.

[@kevinmedeiros9281]

Awesome glad to hear that. Did they get rusty?

[@greatamericansurvival]

No. Only part that might is the Loop but I use Stainless steel, so that helps.

[@ronniesmithers3396]

What size drill bit did you use?

[@jjohnston6645]

Are these fiberglass or metal with coating?

[@greatamericansurvival]

I’ve seen both styles but the ones I get at homedepot are metal dipped in plastic with a plastic cap at each end.

[@changomanaco2]

I was looking for that rod at hone depot but dont know what the name of it is.

[@greatamericansurvival]

8 foot garden stake. Outside garden usually right when you go outside. They use them to hold up plants

[@changomanaco2]

@@greatamericansurvival I searched them up on home depot site. I found them. Going for them tomorrow!. Thanks man. FISH ON!

[@johnsteph1]

Where or how are u storing these on your kayak? My paddle holders appear to be too big

[@greatamericansurvival]

Mine are the bungee style paddle holders they work great for that and as rod holders

[@melnelson688]

Will these poles float?

[@greatamericansurvival]

Honestly it depends on the hardware you use. You can always cut a piece of pool noodle and slide it on.

[@douglasphotonet]

These are hollow stakes. They break in the current. Only good for still water.

[@robertroemer6505]

Cool idea, but if you’re going in the salt STAY AWAY. The interior is made of metal, will corrode, and break eventually. Just a matter of time, and leads to a potentially dangerous situation.

[@seanthompson7592]

Find a fiberglass pole instead.

[@jerronbailey7318]

Tried this and the pole broke the first time out. It's simply not strong enough.

[@greatamericansurvival]

Sorry to hear that, I’ve had one of mine for 6-7 years. Are you using it on moving water? I use mine on the Chattahoochee river here in Georgia.

[@phyllismulkey3778]

wow great idea

[@cody2dope100]

Ima try that I'm sick of the anchor lol

[@greatamericansurvival]

I also use a drag chain, but I fish a lot of moving water rivers..

[@tinasdude]

@@greatamericansurvival do you have a quick release on your drag chain?
