Jug Line ideas. What do ya'll use?

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

these are my small ones. I went overkill with some 4-inch pvc but they are awesome

pool noodles or crab trap styrofoam bouys

Gallon chemical jug with big cap/pour hole.



24" of trotline with loops tied on both ends.

Loop one end around the handle and pull the tail through.

Tie 1/4 ounce bell sinker 4 inches above bottom loop using a simple over hand knot.



Using the bottom loop thread through the eye of the hook and up the backside for double line through the eye. I prefer 5/0 red heavy wire circle hooks.



I prefer to bait with fresh cut shad, but we've used live bream and earthworms with success as well.

The loops on both ends allow you to switch hooks, or switch out the whole rig on the jugs quickly. Store everything inside the jug with the cap back on it for organizational purposes. That's why you need the jug with the big cap.

Last step... post up like a boss on facebook.







Those are all jug caught blue cats.

I've said I was gonna do it for years,,, but, I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it, I swear I'm gonna do it this year.. This year!!







Hold me accountable!!

About $30 total for 16 jugs (1/2" PVC filled with foam). 6ish' of (braided, the twisted tangles) string on each one. One hook 2' from weight, one hook 4' from weight. And don't forget your reflective tape for all you night jugging missions.

18" pool noodle with 1/2 pvc. You don't have to cap them, mine work fine with open ends. I drilled holes at the end to attach line. Works like a charm and cheap cheap
