Gator Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 I have had several people asking how I make my jug lines, here are a couple of pics. Right now my hokks are 2,4,and 6 feet off bottom, but I am changing that to 4, 8, and maybe 12. The main line is 35' long, I can put these in about 30' of water. The anchor is tire weights that I melted down, and poured in a muffin tim, with eye bolts to secure the line to. The jug is a 4" swim noodle cut to 20". The main line is #48 bradied twine rated at 260lbs. hooks are 5/0 eagle claw circle hooks. Swivels are 2/0 from WALMART.

hutchies Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Re: Jug Lines Yep I got to get some of those ready for this weekend. Hey gator did you check out that website i sent you? Did you see the jugs they sell on there. They are similar to yours but they ran PVC thru them and left is sticking out one end about a foot. They said when there is a fish on that the jug will stand up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator Posted April 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Re: Jug Lines hutchies, I have seen what you're talking about. I need to modify mine, I'm gonna put a bolt through it at one end, wrap your line here, when a fish gets on, they will stand it up. Same concept as what you're talking about.

jerdanmagic Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Re: Jug Lines That is remarkably similiar to my jug lines!!! I guess Okies know a lil bit about gettin some juggin done!!!! Only I use old window weights on mine. My dad found some lady whos son tears down real old houses, and he keep the window weights for us.

Gator Posted April 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Re: Jug Lines Ryan, if you use noodles, go with a different color than green, they are a B**** to see!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted April 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Re: Jug Lines I also need to thank my buddy Luke(VermontHunter) for hooking me up with those hooks. Thanks Man!! Unfortunately, the fish weren't biting to good on jug lines, so I didn't get to test them out. maybe next time though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Re: Jug Lines Thats pretty close to how we run ours too. We do more limb lines then jug lines but the jug lines are a blast too. Depending on the traffic on the lake, on occasion your jug line come up missing.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gfourhunter Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Re: Jug Lines when you say jug lines i think of a milk jug with line and a hook. floating on a lake. me sitting in a boat with a spot light watching witch one out of 8 will go under. your set up looks more like a trot line or a limb line. it is a nice set up tho.

[/ QUOTE ] Gator's rig is still called jugging. Just without a jug. Swim noodles are much easier to handle and transport and store than milk jugs. (We use ours to wrap our limb lines around and store in a 5 gal. bucket. ) Besides, with several colors to choose from, they look real pretty floating all over the lake. Right Gator?
