Thread: Floating yo-yo rigs

Which pipe would be better to make these with the black water pipe or pvc pipe?

Black pipe is cheaper. Harder to see without a spot light and tape. I think they turn over easier than PVC. But I have only fished with them one time.

I have about 10 or 12 of the PVC ones that I use.

Black water pipe is a lot cheaper and easier to work with. you do not have to glue the pipe to ( T). It will fit tight enough that you can fold down the up right piece for storage and just pull up for fishing.

thats the way i do it

GUYS SOUNDS LIKE SEVERAL OF YOU NEED TO READ THE REGS BEFORE YOU RUN INTO TROUBLE. HERE IS THE REGS COPIED FROM AGFC WEBSITE. I WOULD SAY FLOATING YOYOS WOULD BE CONSIDERED FREE FLOATING DEVICES.

Jug and Noodle FishingUp to 20 free-floating fishing devices (jugs or noodles) not attached to a stationary object or boat may be used per person.
All free-floating fishing devices must be clearly marked with the user's name and address, driver's license number or current vehicle tag number.
Free-floating fishing devices may be unattended only from sunset to sunrise.

Yo-yos may be left unattended at night.
Yo-yos must be within sight or hearing during daylight hours.
No more than one yo-yo may be hung from a single line, wire, limb or support.
Yo-yos must be labeled with the user's name and address, driver's license number or current vehicle license number.
Stakes used to mount yo-yos on AGFC-owned lakes must be made of wood or cane and must be removed when not in use.

I asked the G&F on their Facebook page and they responded that a Yo-Yo is treated as a Yo-Yo regardless if it's floating or not.

so who does one believe? the printed word? or a faceless face?

Yes both sets of regs would apply if free floated(not tied to a stationary object). You meet up with the right warden and you could be facing a ticket upon his discretion of the rules.
