This picture shows how we use the orange brackets to fasten the Catfish GettersŪ to trees or logs. We had two poles set on the same tree with the brackets. We use 2 inch lag screws, put in with a battery operated drill. A clip pin goes in the already drilled hole on the end of the Catfish GettersŪ. Then the black rubber that we use for the hook is slid down to hold it from moving too far.
