Any ideas on where I can get some square tubing preferably 1" or 1 1/2"?? Trying to make some deep water mojo poles. Or does anyone have any better suggestions for how to make a deep water mojo pole?

You could make a floating rig that's supported by 4 decoys and made outta pvc. Make your arms of the floating rig at least 5' long to give it more leverage against high winds. If your arms aren't long enough a high wind will flip the entire rig over thus dumping your mojo in the drink. Another tip is to tie your mojo to the floating rig in case it does happen to flip in high wind, all you do is go pick up the rig and the mojo will still be tethered to it....reposition it and proceed with your hunt.

Specialty metals off Gallatin St in Jackson should have some in Aluminum?


Steel Svc Corp on Flowood Drive in Flowood will have it in steel.

Try local atv stores/dealership they get four wheelers shipped in sq frames. May the will let you have some cheap? Won't hurt to try. I use to get them for free.

We made one and it works well. Made it of square tubing and it works
