looks like they would work well. only a couple things that could possibly be a problem. 1 is that the extra weight would take away from the acual swimming of the minnow if you are using live bait. also you would have to leave about a foot of distance between the minnow and the structure or it could get tangled up in it.

Thanks for the links Coldbum.  Will give it a try this season, we are allowed 10 lines so one could be placed around the fake weeds, never know.

We tried em last year in 29' of water in a main lake basin at the edge of a bay and got the weeds set up by 0630 a.m. and by 2 p.m. we had so many fish on the screen that the fishing was just stupid we put out a spread of 6 abut 3' apart and drilled holes close on the ends and about 24" away from the SOS all along both sides.  We ended up catching a bunch of crappies that day on the ends and the basin side but it's hard to say definitively if it was the string or not.  I will say that these crappies did definitely hold the area longer having the structure down there.  More testing has to be done before I'm totally convinced.   I have used them a few times with mixed results but mostly positive thus far.

I think they would be perfect for a perminent shanty, you could drill plant and leave them for the season, with a portable you would be moving to much to add any real lasting effect

I bought some tall aquarium plants and twist tied them to my Aqua Vu camera cable. It weems to draw fish in for a look that may have just swam by. It gets them close enough to see your bait anyway.
