    This is just a public service announcement that Rona has the perfect plastic downspout for muskie boxes. I think it's 2 3/4 inch. Has straight sides and almost square corners and packs together nice. Ran a couple pieces short but will be fixing that next trip. 20250201_134512.jpg

    Great idea. Those look like nice clean cuts. What method did you use to cut the plastic?

    I used a table saw with a plywood blade mounted backwards. I used a sled on the saw with a jig to keep them the same size. A compound mitre saw would also work well. Took maybe 15 minutes to cut them once set up.

    Looks good -- I have a similar setup using a 96 can soft cooler bought on sale and downspouts. I did add a few cuts for hook hangers at the top of the downspout in the middle of each side -- can hang 2-3 bucktails in a single slot that way. I joke it's my Fakewood.
