[cool]Hey tubdude, here is a project that really works good, its a floattube anchor system. Take a piece of 3/4" pvc { sched. 40 or 20 } from 6" to 8" in length. Attach a tee at each end or in my case a tee at one end and a 90 at the other. Next attach a small piece of pipe to the other ends of the tees and/or 90. Then glue on a cap to those pieces so that it touches the tee fittings. The small pieces of pipe need to be trimmed so you can do this. Now that this is water tight, tie on 1/8" braided nylon rope to it ; 50' is good to start. Then pick up a 2lb. rockcod weight and tie to the other end. Thats it! When you want to fish an area or are in a current, just lower it till you hit bottom then tie it to your handles or "D" rings. I use a cheap carabiner for this in case I have to move to fight a fish.When I'm done,I just paddle back to the floating holder and clip back on!
