Jug lines

Y'all use em? How do y'all like to set yalls up?

Yup.... here are mine.....


I set up like 3 with whole shad, 3 cut, n the rest fillet... then see which one they are in the mood for.

I've never used one. Found a 50+ floating today still attached to the jug. What a HUGE waste. Ya'll make sure you check them often (every couple hours) in this warm summer water.

most defintely.... we stay near by where can keep an eye on them.... as soon as a couple flag up, we go check em out.

Basically are those just capped pvc with a noodle aroudn em?

Yea. You out a 5" piece of rebar in them. When you get a bite, the rebar slides inside, puts weight one one end, and it stands them up.

It's came a long way from when I used to run em when i was 17 on the river. Back then it was a milk jug, trot line rope, couple hooks, and a brick lol

Checkin em in a buster boat mind you lol

Yup.... I used a 7/16 threaded bar I had a cut bout 3in pieces.... but like Caribou said... that's how they work.

Where can I buy the WHITE noodle at? I would like to make a few of these. How many hooks do you rig on each jug?

the foam i found it at a contractors supply place in Dallas down off IRVING BLVD. Give me a minute and i'll look for the info.

I only use one leader per noodle and they're set at different depths.

@scott42 I have some you could buy from me. I have about 8 left. All white. If interested PM. Thanks.

Thank you rick.

How do you guys wright your info on the jugs? How do you tag it?

i have this roll of thick white tape like duct tape, but i put a piece big enough to write my info with a sharpie so it doesn't erase and i use an erasable marker for writing the date. that way i can just rub it right off....

I was thinking about a wax pen, that should work as far as I know.

or like this... i put a piece of clear packing tape...

Ima do some old school jugs. 15 ft of rope with 2 leaders sound alright? Anchored

That will work too looks like. Thank you for the info.

I bought my noodles from http://www.fishingnoodle.com/WHITE-FOAM_c3.htm. Only problem is they have a 3/4" id. So I had to make washers out of some thick plastic laying around to go between the cap and noodle.

at this place where i get it at it's solid. so u can make the hole the size you need it to be.

I write my name and address on the tube and the date on the cap with a sharpie. Wipe date off using acetone. Saw in the new regs where your date is only good for 10 days instead of 30, so watch out.
