I made this out of different sticks and glued them with fishsafe silicone my dad said wait for it to dry and soak it in water Posted by wildfishkeeper
JackWoodburn on December 5, 2024 1:57 pm Indeed. Wood floats so there are 2 ways of dealing with that. 1. You anker it in such a way that it doesn’t float. 2. You pre-soak it in water until it doesn’t float. I prefer the 2nd option because pre soaking it also removes some of the tannins and biofilm build up. It also seems like it still has the bark on it? Try and remove as much of it as you can. Should be fine!
