1 1/2" PVC. Magnets from an instant screen.

Great start................however, I can't imagine all of the crap that will get hung up on that rod let alone the rust that it will build after a few trips. Why did you not use galvanized material?

I didn't think about the crap. The bolt and nuts are 2"x 1/4" stainless. I'm hoping it works. If something hangs up, it will just fall away and my signal will get funky. Then I will re-attach.
slow process shaping the PVC so I hope it works.

I know everybody has made these to death, but I'm pretty happy with them.

Neat design. So you just slid the outer layer of the paracord onto the weed whacker line?

Yes, I use a strand of the inner core to tie the loop back, then electrical tape, then heat shrink.
