Anybody ever done it? Know whats best and got good advice you can share with me?! lol i need some help. I'm gonna give it a try

we do it a lot, sept we dont use jugs. we 2' lengths of PVC glued into pool noodles. on the top of the PVC cap we wrap it with reflective tape.

a fresh bluegill will temp many types of fish.

that pvc is a cool idea. ill give it a try

No matter what you use for a "jug" always use circle hooks to hook fish with less effort, some great bait options are

- live bait (bluegill,goldfish, shiners,or creek chubs)

-raw, shelled shrimp

-chicken breast

-ivory soap

-cut bait (any bait fish cut up into pieces)

hope this helps you out.

+1 on the circle hooks and cut-bait. FRESH cutbait, not frozen.

ivory soap? really? i NEVER would have thought about soap... but hey ill try anything lol

yup, there is actually a company called Redneck's catfish bait soap, it has added flavors and stays on the hook for a LONG time making it perfect for jugs and trot-lines, the website is www.catfishbaitsoap.com

ill take a look at that. thank you
