Re: techniques to fasten PVC Pipe to a metal rod?
Drill a hole in a PVC end "CAP", and stick a bolt thru from the inside. Tighten a nut down on it from the other side (really good). Then, glue the cap on the pipe with PVC cement.

For shrimp baiting, we use 12 foot 1.5" pvc pipes to mark the underwater bait. One year we added a 15" threaded rod to the end to help plant in firm bottoms.
