Sure look the same T.G.  I like these smaller balls, the other reef I fish has "igloos" balls that
are over six feet tall and they really do eat fishing tackle.  I can drift thru these safely "most"
of the time.  tight lines - Fay

They are put in the water so smaller fish will have a great place to live and naturally the bigger
fish will stay close to eat the smaller fish.  The balls are made of concrete and full of holes.
Because of their round shape they don't eat fishing tackle as bad as other structure.  Virginia
has make a lot of artificial reefs in the Chesapeake Bay and they sure attract fish.

Good use  of fishing fees.  And they should last for a while..
We mostly dump trees tied together.
Glad to see Chesapeake drops the balls also..
