ABSTRACT:
An artificial reef device comprising an axle rod supporting a plurality of buoyant reef bodies rotatably mounted on the axle rod. The axle rod and buoyant sections are suspended at a desired level above a water bottom by anchors attached to anchor lines further attached to the axle rod. A plurality of distally projecting rods is mounted on the buoyant reef bodies. The distally projecting rods are mounted in a manner such that the buoyant reef bodies rotate independently of each other on the axle rod without interference from the distally projecting rods. Some of the projecting rods may be hollow to receive soluble fish attractant for disbursement through the hollow rods.
