Thanks for the post.

How do they hold in soft river bank mud?

For muddy banks i make mine 4 inches long and 20 inches deep they will hold. I use them on drowning rigs. Instead of a wood or rebar stake just attach anchor to drowner cable. Set and go!

fine post!

same here!

great post!

i just cut mine 3 in long. no angle and they work great.

cut mine out of half inch steel pipe 3 inches long and weld a 5/16 nut middle ways.

many different ways to make cable stakes. just as long they work thats all that matters.

thanks for sharing Bcompton very cool set up for sure ...

Any chance you could post some actual pics of the real thing?

Thanks for posting, I wish there was more post about this kind of stuff. It really helps us out! Thanks again!

You can use your driver to make a pilot hole in frozen ground if the frost isn't too deep.If there is too much frost, I have been using a cordless hammer drill and a masonary bit.

Mine always seem to stick on the driving rod. Any Suggestions?

bigcat - reverse the way you put the stake on the driver - in other words do not put the stake 45 on the driver at the 45 so they match up on the driver - put them on so it looks wrong and they dont match up and the gap will give some friction to pull against when you try to set the anchor
