How to Make a Fishing Sand Spike/Rod Holder for $5!!!

All the parts for this sand spike / rod holder were bought from home depot for less than $5 total. Totally worth it for the functionality and durability! I've been using my spike for over a year fishing from the surf every week and it continues to hold up strong. You can also modify it with extra parts like screw on hooks to hold bait bags etc. The parts list is: -3 or 4 ft U Post 1 M6 1.0x30mm Machine Screw 1 M6 1.0 mm Wing Nut 2 M6 1.0 mm Lock Nuts 1 M6 1.0x75mm Metric Cap Screw -1.5 inch (or 2 inch) x 2 Ft of PCV pipe (This is long enough to make at least 4 sand spikes) When you use the spike, make sure to stick it into the sand at an angle. DO NOT stick it straight down and try to push it to an angle or the spike will bend. Also make sure to push the spike deep enough into the sand so that the brace is completely covered.
