Weed 'ez

[Fishing_Rookie_123_]

Anyone know where I can pick some of these up at? I didn't realize how cheap they were at the Ice Show and now I would like to pick up a pack of them, but I can't find them for sale online anywhere.

Thanks.

If you're talking about the fake weeds, I wouldn't buy the manufactured ones. Last year a buddy of mine made his own. They seemed to work well, we had a Aqua-vu and the fish really seemed to gravitate towards the fake weeds. He took Christmas garland and fake ivy and put a weight on the bottom tied a string to the top and then cut a round piece of pink insulation (no the fiberglass kind, haha) to cover the hole and hold the weeds vertical. Hope that helps!

These new Weed'ez by Nature Vision seem to be very packable and lightweight, and are only $20 for a 4 pack.

I don't have the budget for anything more expensive than this right now, but for this price...they hooked me.

I'd ask for some user review, but I sorta doubt many people have any experience with them yet. My main concern is that packing them up would be like packing up a wet blanket.

Thorne Bros should have them at $19.99 for a 4 pack. I'm sure other places will carry them soon, too.

I can't imagine you could make anything like these for that cheap when you factor your time in.

I made my own last year, they look and work great, - but ended up costing more to make than to buy.

Cand somebody give me an update on these things? Seem to be A LOT cheaper than the Reel Weeds, which's nice. Where to buy? If they hold up well? Thanks guys!

And we touch yet again on all the possible contaminants that may be associated with making homemade ones. These people do extensive scientific testing to ensure their products do not harm your fish and lakes. I would rather pay the dollar amount to know these are safe for the environment than to prolly pay more for a homemade one and not know what I'm doing to environment. Think a bit.

I would save my money and buy the Reel Weeds by LeDredge. If you don't have a lot of money pick up the two pack.. The Reel Weeds come with a weight and has the foam storage cord wrap. They pack easy and are extremly flexable when pulling them out of the lake.

As for the Weed'ez they look decent but they don't come with a weight and you have to let them dry off before packing them away so they don't freeze together. Another thing is you have to add the cord and figure out a way to wrap them up...Another concern of mine would be them freezing to the side of the ice hole?

Just my .02 cents on them.. Good Luck this winter...
