As far a natural or pvc. Go natural. I catch 10x more fish of the natural stuff vs pvc. I am will to sacrifice a few hooks for that type of difference

I've got plenty of PVC structure out in places but it won't produce like regular brush 90pxt of them time. Only place PVC has been better IMO is small ponds where beavers or nutria eat your stuff up as soon as you sink it! Put 6 piles in a buddies 7 acre lake and a week later we were fishing cinder blocks!! There was nothing left of the willows

1. Rocks, placed in shallow water near the bank.
2. Big oak logs rolled into 3 to 5 foot depth, oak logs sink.
3. Cedar logs, drill holes in center and cable about 10 tightly together. Attach cable from middle log to bucket filled with concrete. Cable length should be the depth of water the structure will be positioned at. Cedar logs float, fish love to sit in the shade under the logs.
4. Cedar logs again, take a chainsaw and cut a sharp point on the bottom and drive them into the bottom of the lake. The more the better. Looking for the shade effect.
5. Cedar fence stays, use a bunch and drive them in the bottom with enough space between stays to run a spinnerbait through.
About to give up on the pvc structures I have built and bought. The porcupines never hold any fish and the 1/2 inch pvc shoved in buckets never hold fish either. Natural wood has proved to be the most consistent fish holding structure for me. Shade is a very important to have for fish to key on. My bigger bass tend to suspend in the deeper water, void of any structure.
Same here. I built and bought Mossback none hold fish as good as cedar trees and logs...
