This pen holds 100s of live baits! Definitely nice to pen up baits and not have to stress early mornings! If you have questions on parts or install drop a comment below! Thanks for watching yall!
sick build! I learned how to do one last year but yours is a lot more practical and a easier build. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks bro! I’m sure yours is badass too
Nice work bro.. I'm in the process of making a ballyhoo. DIY life..
Nice! That would be awesome
I used a "circle calculator" and the measurements (rough) if your diameter is 4', (2' radius) your Circumference would be 12.5' so you would need 6.25' pieces of the "schedule 30" to make your hoops. Hope this helps take some of the guesswork out.
Thanks! It’s close but never perfect! As long as it works
Thanks!
Let me know how it goes!
Would you please give more details on the latch for this bait pen. Thanks!
I use ripe or zip ties to make the latch. It’s just a half circle
I have a few rainy days starting tomorrow so I'm going to try this build. Your pen is 4x2 or 4x3?
4x3. I usually make them the size of the height of the mesh netting I get. Makes it easier to
Do you have to weight down the bottom? curious how the finished product floats without ballast.
I put styrofoam balls on it as floats
Would you please provide details on the latch for this bait pen
I think I dropped another comment on it
Can you please elaborate how you bent the pvc pipe?
I just worked it and tried to round it myself before putting together. Once I put one of the sides in and screwed it in it allowed me to bend it a bit more to be able to put it into the other side. You need to get sch 30 the thinner pipe or it won’t bend.
Q: was there a reason you used SS screws instead of gluing the PVC?
The glue always pops out after time. For me this was stronger. You can try glue
Where did you find the schedule 30 pvc? Can only find schedule 40
Home Depot has it
How is it holding up to the saltwater having steel inside
Working well! I take it out when it’s not holding bait which I’m sure helps
Can you please give us the lengths of PVC used for the outer edges?
The pieces are around 6.25 feet each
You ever have an issue with birds trying to tear up your pen or canal pirates stealing your bait?
Birds yes but crabs the most lol no pirates yet!
Did you have to use any heat to shape it?
I didn’t. The heat would bend it oddly. Use that sched 30
