I'm looking to run some jugs in a tidal canal on the flats (5 ft flats with a very deep middle channel) and let them soak overnight. How much weight would y'all put on the bottom? I expect to lose a couple, but trying to minimize losses. I'm totally new to juglining for catfish, so I'll take any tips that I can get.

Thanks

Not sure how much they weigh but took some 16oz plastic cups and filled them with concrete with an ibolt sticking out the top.

Ive set them in some canals with decent current and caught some pretty big cats over night and have never had them move on me.

I don’t know, how much does a spark plug weigh? Or a conduit 90? Or 4-5 random nuts?

just curious, are these jugs with the concrete weights something yall are putting in current and want it to anchor? I use an egg weigh up (i buy whatever size it looks like my string will fit through) and hook down after a swivel. I'm not running them in current, though. I toss em out and let em drift.

Railroad spike fits inside noodle we use after wrap line around noodle for good storage.

So say you are in an area that is 10 foot deep, is the setup a line tied to the concrete that is roughly 12' deep tied to a float and then you tie a circle hook roughly 4 feet down from the float?

I use beer cans, cut the top off, fill a little over half way up with cement then take some old chain around the house put two links in cement and one hanging out to tie string to.
