I am getting away from my 2 liter bottles and foam blocks.

I am making up 20-30 this week and using 1/2in pvc and pool noodles. I have a couple different designs in mind but curious how ya'll do them.

oil jugs from the oil change place down the street. FREE and plentiful. Tie a railroad spike for weight.

I have seen some designs on internet where they put a small piece of rebar in the pvc and set it at top end. When fish bites it weights the bottom end. I see the concept but looks like over kill for redneck jug lining.

Thats basically what i am doing. The difference is I am putting a small eye bolt into bottom cap.

Those look nice and compact.

Yeah. They take up much less room too. When I first saw them and made them, I was skeptical about bigger fish pulling the coat hanger free from the noodle, but I've caught 30lb+ fish with them and never had anything like that happen. I used to make them with PVC, but making them with coat hangers is so much easier. Really all you need are noodles, hangers, wire clippers, and rigging.

I can't find a link but I found a styrofoam noodle erector set at Wal-Mart a few months ago that had 15 pieces in it. Noodles with channels in it that were precut to the perfect size and came in a bag. Perfect jug line setup. They were on an endcap and I'm not sure if they still have them or not.
I just tie nylon line with a hook and 3 oz catfish sinker at the bottom

Saves you a lot of time when re-baiting. No need to pick up every noodle and check. The rebar also makes a "clack" noise when it flips sometimes allowing for you to hear the bite. Work well on a day you'll be checking them often. If your leaving them out over night just use something else.

Did not understand this, so I found these instructions.
Pretty neat.

Tigerdeacon, Jr. with a good life jacket. He screams when he gets a bite. That way I can take a nap on the bank and he gets his exercise.

msandla jr. learned not to use red reflective tape when putting on jugs in spillway. a lot of critters in swamp reflect red with their eyes.
