I had an old piece of pretty solid steel from an IKEA bedframe(?) lying around as well as an old tiki torch. Cut off about 12 inches of the bamboo, drilled two holes in it, and secured it to the steel with some nuts and bolts I had lying around.

Gets the job done.

Total cost = 15 min. of my time.   :) :)

That wouldnt last long. It takes alot of force to drive the holder into the gravel bed, after awhile the rebar flares right out. If you're fishing the upper Fraser I'd be bringing along a hammer or an axe

Just get a Piece of PVC pipe or any tube wider then the cork, a length of rebar and a couple hose clamps.
Make sure whatever you use leave a couple inches above the tube to pound into the gravel


Worked for me. Got the rebar and PVC from work. 2 stainless clamps at Home depot cost $3. Way cheaper than the $80 or so at a local shop.
