need help from YOYO experts

I am trying to fabricate something to set yoyos near my camp where there are no trees. this weekend, I experimented with bamboo and made T's about 10feet tall using zip ties and tape after notching them together. good news is they held up, caught plenty fish. But I'm sure they will dry and crack in a few weeks. was thinking rebar but I know that rusts like hell. maybe 10ft galvanized conduit. have to sink them in fairly hard but muddy bottom. have a brother who welds so that's not an issue. what are you guys using in this situation?

PVC works well.

1 You can build a floating frame out of PVC pipe and hang it from them.
2 You can run a cable from tree to tree and hang from there
3 The "T" post will work.
4 If you have a bamboo thicket around you will always have material to fish with. No need to make the :T" just stab the bamboo in ground/mud and hang YoYo from it.

1. floating frame? i'm setting these from a boat. they would have to be pretty large I'd imagine. I usually set about 2-3 dozen at a time.
2. again, I have no trees. not an option

3. I know that, but from what material.
4. it's a lot of work. just want something to leave at the camp that is easy to set out, durable, and won't rust if possible.
I'd imagine the PVC would have to be pretty thick to not bend when I push it into the mud in 6-7 feet of water. I was hoping to build these at minimal cost, hopefully less than 10 bucks a piece. can galvanized conduit be welded?

1" schedule 80 PVC. Put a 10ft piece in mud. Attach 90 to it and stretch it as far as it goes without sagging, put a3 way T connection with another piece for the leg, keep going the length of the lake

This
The cheapest is the bamboo & will probably last a season.
If you plan on doing this for years to come then i'd sujest either the above or PVC T post that you'd have to make

what about pvc t about a foot to foot and a half long, wire or zip tie to tree?
would save on the cost of length going all the way down in the bottom..

It is an automatic fisherman what frees up the hands for the drinking of cold beer while still catching the much revered whitesaucaperch.

Thanks for all the replies. I did a little research today. It turns out that lowes sell 1/2" 10 ft galvanized conduit for less than $2 a piece and my bro assures me he can weld them together tight. So I think I'm gonna go that route. 15 10 ft pieces and I can make 10 Ts for about 30 bucks. That's what I'm talking about.
