Awesome. Again thanks for the kind words. A few ideas for your new jugs. Depth is dependent on your lake. I fish deep drops/ ledges so I put mine at a depth they will sit on the slope but not the bottom of the drop. I always pay attention to my sonar, it will tell ya what depth range your fish are in. Hope you snatch some lips.
Thanks. I wish I was 15 min away. It’s an hour and a half drive for me but the fishing is so much better compared to the tenn Tom. I live 1/4 mile from it and choose to drive to pickwick to fish. It’s getting time for the lake to be much less crowded hope to see ya out there.
Good info 1 thought What if you put a elbow on the end. It will not dump water on you and it will not come apart. Just a thought. Give me your opinion. Never did pool jugs before trying to make a 1 time fix.
I’m sure it will work. I like keeping them as short as possible while still functioning as I want just because storage is always an issue with jug fishing. Definitely another way to do it tho, whatever works for you.
Iv thought about selling some. Shipping would be terrible if they had the foam on them. The noodles inner hole is not any standard size so it’s hard to pre make and sell with the buyer adding the foam
@@HookandBulletOutdoors I ended up making some of these the other day. If it was me going to sell them get foam that matches cut the pipe into sections and put a pipe cap on one end with the eye. Have the end user place the foam, other cap, and put a swivel to the eye. Cuts down on space in the box and cost. Could get a dozen easy into a medium size box that had some length.
Walmart is the only reasonable priced place I can find them. You can order them off Amazon but they are outrageous. I try to buy them up in the fall when pool noodles go on clearance.
I have used larger weights and it tends to make it look like your getting bit in chop. I don’t believe, but haven’t tested it, that even 8 oz of weight would impart enough resistance to have a hook set using a 5/0 hook on a catfishs meaty mouth.
Great question! You have to adjust your jugs for the water depth your fishing to keep them off the bottom. I make some deep ones and some shallow ones but you can also tie a couple half hitches around the jug with the line to shorten up a long jug. If you fish the same area a lot it’s easiest to tailor your jugs to the depth you usually fish.
Why are you just fishing with one hook on a jug instead of max limit of 5? If you do fish with 3,4 or 5 hooks might make a video on how you do it. Your depths good. I've done a lot of jugging myself but just more hooks. Like your idea though.
Honestly it’s just for storage and ease of use. The one hook at the end helps me keep it less cluttered and reduces tangles. I use double rigs on rod and reel and it is effective and covering multiple depth ranges. When I jug fish I’m usually marking fish and dropping the bait on their head. Definitely a good idea tho.
After watching this and your jugging video I have got to redo my jugs to get them deeper:-) thanks for sharing the info!

@@HookandBulletOutdoors I fish Smith Mountain Lake and Buggs Island, I have plenty ledges to try! 😊
I make mine the same way good job. You said you fish at Pickwick alot that's my fishing spot I live 15 miles from there. Maybe I'll see you there tkx

Where do you find the 110Lb coated main line? I can't seem to find anything but the larger diameter stuff online. Thanks
My affiliate link to the line is in the video description. I just checked and it is in stock at that link.
Wal-Mart or academy @@HookandBulletOutdoors
Man can I buy some of these from you lol. I live in Huntsville and I will gladly buy these.

Yes sir.
Thanks for posting! Any suggestions on where I can find those 4" noodles? Thanks
Walmart is the only reasonable priced place I can find them. You can order them off Amazon but they are outrageous. I try to buy them up in the fall when pool noodles go on clearance.
@@HookandBulletOutdoors Thank you
What about using a large weight that the fish can't easily swim away with? Wouldn't that help hook up?
I have used larger weights and it tends to make it look like your getting bit in chop. I don’t believe, but haven’t tested it, that even 8 oz of weight would impart enough resistance to have a hook set using a 5/0 hook on a catfishs meaty mouth.
Do the noodles ever come off the pvc?
I glue them on with wood glue. It’s easy to get off when I want to put new foam on but secure enough that iv never had one come off.
I glue them on with wood glue. The on there until I scrape them off. Which isn’t a huge chore.
How do you keep the bait suspended? Looks like the hook is on the end of you rig. Let me know, thanks.

What type of glue you use.
I use gorilla wood glue.
Couldn’t hear anything you said because I was too busy drooling over your arms
Nice! You should lay off the coke though it's bad for the heart, less days on the water.
Allergies are awful. I should probably have scrapped that video and remade it.
😂
I like mine better
I’m sure they are awesome. Everyone has their own way of doing it. I’m thankful there are many ways to skin a cat.
Do you have a runny nose?
Allergies try to murder me in the spring.
