I’ve seen the Weed-ez in the store, haven’t used them, but thought from a quality stand point they looked unworthy of the money. What I did a couple yrs ago was start hitting the dollar stores/hobby lobby/etc. looking for something similar to lake weeds. My best find was at hobby lobby and got them 2-for-1. Most of what I looked at had rings on each end. I used two of the largest bell sinkers that i could find and attached them at one end with a cable tie. On the top I placed maybe a golf ball sized piece of green styrofoam, again ran a cable tie thru it and attached it to the top ring. They stand upright in the water and sink well. Depending on what kind of material you’re looking for, you can make alot more this way for the money, and enjoy using something you made yourself. (My kids laugh at me when I use them, but its worth it.)

I think the whole idea of this type of structure is a dandy. I just tend to like to play around with the ideas and make them with what is easier on the pocket.

Oh, have I had much luck with them? Don’t make it out more than a time or two each winter. Can’t say that they get used enuf for an honest answer.
