I know this is an old post , but I was wondering how many are still using the pogo method of staking. To me it seems like a cheap way to accomplish the same thing, and maybe a little more hands on which to me would be fun. Coming up with all kinds of ideas for summer projects.

I bought some but haven't tried them yet. They seem like a good enough method for some situations

I have about 100 2 inch but decided to go with wolf fangs. Our ground is just to hard and the washer was folding over. Also wolf fangs are cheaper.

Those using wolf fangs, how do they do getting pulled out and reused? I've noticed with berkshire in PA they will get bent up.

In my experience they are reusable.

How do pogos work? I've been thinking of switching. Are they attached to a cable with a loop on both ends so that way when you pull it up, it will hopefully just open up the J hook? I had multiple wolf fangs this year straighten J hooks and breaking ferrules.

Can make one pretty easy. As for hard ground, I made a starter rod. Used 1/2 inch round rod, cut a slot in the middle and welded 1/4" x 1 1/2" flat bar in the slot. I then sharpened it to a point and a lot of sloppy weld along the edge to keep it strong. But in my worst winter I only have to get down about 8" until it's soft.

Also made a 4 foot rod with a slot and an indent to rest the J hook. I use this in the swamp. I just push the 2 inch pogo into the marsh. Works so much better than any type of other staking in the marsh.

I make my own out of 1/2 black pipe cut about 2" off weld a 1/4" nut on top. They work good.
