Yes or no?

For water or land?
For water sets.. ABSOLUTELY!! In fact I use PVC for 40 percent of my beaver sets

Drive a section of white PVC into the bank and place a trap in the water up close to the pipe. Dry land sets do the same thing.

I never placed a section of PVC out in the water. I never figured it was worth the effort when I can use the bank as backing. And the coon is already working the bank.

I prefer to not have all my gear stolen so isnt my typical approach

I use Grey 1" pvc electrical conduit in crick banks. Not visible like white but still a good lure and bait holder in certain sets

I've messed with them a little. They work, but don't think its worth the extra effort when a pocket will do.

They work ok, a pocket I think is better, coon are good with steal the bait at PVC pipe, paste bait
