    Default Jugs?


    What do you guys use for jug fishing? I use 2 liter bottles but I have seen some people use 2" PVC pipe. If you have some pictures of what you use please post them.
    Thanks,
    Lynn

    I have 2 types. One is 4 PVC at 12" capped on both ends with an eyelet screwed in end for line, very heavy duty, but bulky. 2nd and favorite is swim noodles cut 12" with 15" cpvc pipe glued in it and a hole drilled at end sticking out to run a cotter pin thru a swivel. I also put reflective tape around it.

    I like swim noodles cut into lengths. They are tangle free as you can hook the stuff after winding up line. They also take up minimal space. You cant put a bunch in an old milk crate.

    I like the swim noodle type with a counter weight in them. It makes them stand up when you get a hit, MUCH MUCH less of a hassle and you can store more than you want to fool with in a small rubber made tote. The only disadvantage to the tip up is that if your bait hits bottom it will give a false tip up. They are easy to make and there is a step by step way to build them on you tube. I got away from jugs because of all the trash and making false runs to jugs that weren't even mine. Your BIG cats (rock fish and HUGE gar take them here) will keep them down for awhile but, they eventually pop up unless they tangle in trees while they are down.

    I am another that uses my home made swim noodles. I love them compared to the jugs or PVC that I have used in the past. I just keep them in a tote until I am fishing them. Plus I am always looking for something to use those damn noodles at the end of the year. I also use retro tape, I use them at night since there isn't as many people on the lake. I have put out 100 a night with me a couple other guys fishing.
