jugs

[Riley W]

any body run trot lines or jugs or somethin on here lookin for some pointers on it

Several different ways to run jugs or noodles. Some with weights some like to float them across points with no weights. 

Run mine with six foot lines two hooks per with weight on bottom of line. Float them in a cove next to moss line and kick back and watch the fun.

I run stationary jugs they have a 10 to 15 line with 2 to 3 hooks and a weight on the bottom of them I can go back to the house and let them sit until morning and not having to look all over the lake for them

Here is one of my noodle set ups. Six foot line weight at bottom. Two hooks per line. 3/4 pvc pipe 16in long through floaty noodle 12 in long. Put nail or screw through end of pvc and tie line. Run your line through pvc and straight down to hooks and weights if preferred.  Everyone has their own desired length and set ups tailored to their specific environment. 
Caught tons on this type rig. You can put trailer marking tape around tops and float them at night as well.

ive never been real interested in jugs, its somethin im gonna try this year, any ideas on how i should run em?

Depends on the area you are fishing.

I have friends that dont put weights on their noodles. They have one hook per and they throw them out up wind of points and float them across. Do really well

Others like extremely long lines and fish the sides of underwater river beds.

I like sheltered coves, preferably with small creek feeding into back of them. I just run a big U pattern and sit at the mouth waiting for the fun to start. I let the kidos run the trolling motor to chase the noodles down when they begin to run.

You will throw your rods away after getting into a good school of blues.

I took some 2" and 3" pvc and cut them in 16" lengths. Then I put a cap on one end, filled them with foam insulation, capped the other end (it had an eye bolt in it), and finally put some reflective tape on the opposite end from the eye hook.

Yesterday, I put them out in a line beside the river channel on Lake Palestine. This morning I caught 6 nice high fin blues and had two others twist off.

When I got back I am doing some modifications to my rig. The guy at the sporting goods store told me that they are outlawing the tarred line. I had to buy the green stuff and it is too limp and tangles too easy. Anyway, I had enough to relplace the line on 3 noodles. I found some tarred line on the internet and have ordered.

The way I rig mine is as follows. I take 30' of line and put a big snap swivel on one end and this is connected to my weight. I had some I beams that were scrap from my shop so I cut them in 4" pieces and use them for weights. I come up 3' and put a swiven on the main line and one at 6'. The stagends are 1' long and I use circle hooks. I use enough line so that the noodle will float on its side and wrap the extra line around the eye hook and then tie it off.
