Does the laminated hold up from being in the water? Sounds like a good idea there.

The date is only good for 10 days though. That's a lot of marking out and would soon run out of room.

I've had great luck with the laminated tags.

I use duct tape to write the date on. Just peel and stick another date on.

Works great. I use the white tape.

I like the red or hot pink, easier to see from a distance :-) good luck

I write my name and address with permanent marker, then the date with a china marker. Easy to rub off then write a new date.

On Lewisville, I would throw jugs out and determine which way they would drift. I would anchor downstream (downwind) and watch them. I had a Clorox bottle attached to my anchor line. When one flagged, I would just untie the anchor line and retrieve the jug, remove fish, and rebait. Then I would go snag my anchor line and tie up and wait again.

I started using cattle ear tags for my gear tags. I write my info on them with a permanent marker. I rarely use a jug but will put out a limb line on occasion. I like to do the lines in very early spring late winter when I don't want to sit and wait hours for a bite. I use goldfish often this time of year and have had decent success with them. They
stay alive for several days if they are not eaten. The ear tags are available at most feed stores.

I paint all my jugs white (1$ walmart paint ) after I have dated them a few times just hit the name/date with paint and your ready to write some more dates on the jug.Also in my jugs I put pea gravel in the jug that will make it flag with a bite.
