Noodle fishing

no G, a local guy came up with the idea and was making them on a small scale a few years back. He did not patent the idea of the line catcher but did get hooked up with some folks who massed produced them for him. I do not know the status of production at this time. He was calling them Next Level Jugs.

That line catcher is a neat idea

It is, most people only have jugs that run 1-3 ft deep, with these you can range from 1-20'

Yep, the line keeper is a great idea! I've been tying an slip knot in my cord to adjust the depth. Now I have some re-engineering to do:biggrin

Thats a lot of fun have seen folks crappie fish with them.

Here is one i made up. 12in noodle, 1/2 in pvc with T on end. drill hole in center of T run about 8 ft line through and tie off below T. Tie on Hook and weight, pull line through and wrap around pipe below T for length adjustment.Attachment 109250Attachment 109251

I use the PVC to, but not the T. I just leave an inch sticking out and drill a hole in it for the line. I wrap the line around the noodle and stick the hook in it also. I like the T idea because you can wrap a loop around it to adjust the amount of line you put out for your depth. Gonna put a T on all of mine, if I ever use em again.

Thanks Cray for a good idea!!!!!

splain that about the line and the hole etc. a little more better

You run the line through hole. Tie a loop knot and slip it over the T and sinch it up. put hook on other end. Pull line back through hole and wrap around PVC below T until you have length out you want. It will be wound over itself so it wont come unwound. When through just wrap up all but about 16 inches take it up and around top of noodle and come back down making an X across first line and put hook in noodle to store. I put on about 8ft of line but most of the time your going to only put out about 3 ft.
Did this make sense. Sometimes I make perfect sense to myself but no one else understands it.:yikes

Yep, almost like some of these ideas these ladies give me on a job.
But I know what you're talking about since I have spools.
