Homemade wreck anchor

[Pinch]

After the success of the wreck anchor LL at the bay bridge i decided to make my own. 1 clothes hanger, 1 2x4, a piece of steel pipe, molten lead and a hammer i came up with this.



who wants to test it?

[Yakfisher]

I'll test it. What's the worst that could happen? hahaha.

we need to find some thin stainless rods for those. how it the top of the rods attached?

[Pinch]

its 2 rods the "u" that sticks out from the two has a heavy duty snap through it

That should do a fine job. I was going to make one out of a 4" section of 2" dia PVC tube, PVC End cap, Coat Hangers and some concrete.

This one you made is much better. Any idea on the weight?

I'll test it!

this one is going to redfish at the m&g i havent figured out the weight however it may just barely be 1lb. I covered it in gloxw in the dark jig paint so the lead exposure will be less and tied it to a 50' nylon rope. All it needs is a float of somekind and it will be good to go.

Jack how are you cutting pieces off that 54lb hunk of lead? i have some large pieces to cut and other than a porta-band saw its a real pain
