I normaly use 1 1/4 or up to 2" just more eye appeal. I don't know why you would use a ellbow. Last edited by The Beav; 11/13/07 09:17 AM. The forum Know It All according to Muskrat

The only advantage of the elbow is that it will make bait or lure last longer because the rain and snow won't get down inside the pipe to dilute what you have in there.Most guys don't go to the extra expence for the cost of the elbow or the time it takes to make them up.

I also poured fish oil in the pipe. The oil will flost on top of the water and stay around a while. Haven't caught anything yet...

THey will fit snug. I shove a piece of cotton in the bend so my lure/bait does not fall all the way down. God, Family, Country.
