POOL NOODLE fishing jugs (Fast, Cheap, and Easy)

all right what's up guys so today i'm gonna just do a quick video on uh putting together some jugs i'll show you how i build jugs for catfishing generally you get three out of a out of one pool noodle so basically just kind of eyeball it so that you get end up with three three equal parts uh just take your knife so there we've got our jugs cut i'm gonna be making weights out of these little dixie cups today sometimes for bigger legs deeper legs if i want a heavier weight i'll use like red solo cups and we'll just fill them up with some quikrete so this bag it's a 40 pound bag was like five bucks and i can make i don't know a bunch of weights out of this so for these drugs i'm just gonna be using them out here on the river i'm just gonna use these little dixie cups and uh what we'll do is you can either use a piece of galvanized wire if you've got some of that laying around just make a loop out of it and stick that down in there or on these ones i'm just going to be using some old screws i've got a box hold screws here that i'm not going to use for anything and i'll just stick those down in there and we'll just tie off tie the line off to those for the win so i'm just gonna like a dozen or so of these maybe more i've gotta have a bucket full like i said i'll use uh red solo cups make bigger ones fill them like halfway three quarters of the way depending on how deep you're gonna be fishing i'm just gonna take some of these old screws i've got a bunch of boxes of these like a lot of people do it's random screws and bolts and stuff i'm just gonna stick some screws down in there and then let's wait for him to dry so some people will tie these off right in the middle i like to go towards one edge um about like that and that way if you get a good sized fish on and it pulls it it'll stand it up all right i brought a light over here so maybe you can actually see what i'm doing um what we're gonna do is i'm going to come up probably about 16 inches or so from the bottom that's going to put my first hook i'm going to run two hooks on these um depending on where you're at i know in oklahoma i think you can have up to five hooks i don't know if there's a hook limit in arkansas where i'm at but just check the regulations on that so i usually put two hooks on mine so i'm going to come up about 16 inches and then the way i do this instead of using like swivels or anything like that all i do is i pull off however far i want my hook to come off my main line it's about eight inches right there and just make a little loop just tie that off so now i've got my lid will be there i'm coming up 16 inches and then i'll have this little loop coming off and i'll go up however far i want my next hook to be probably about another 16. and i'll just do that again time myself another loop just like that so we'll have our weight grab a loop and then take our hooks i'm using circle seat hooks on these um i i like circle hooks better than regular j-hooks but either one will work by using both so i'll take this loop this is just a real easy way to do this take this loop and we'll stick the end of the loop through the eye of the hook pull it through and then we'll just stick the hook through that loop pull that back i'll show you that again on my top loop just take your loop pick the end of it stick it through the eye of the hook this is where that smaller diameter bank line makes it a lot easier we'll just pull a little bit through there and then just stick your hook right through that loop and pull it back tight so we've got our two hooks on there and uh let's tie our weight on good to go just wind your line on there uh kind of in one spot where it's tied on then take your hook loop and just just wrap it around and just stick your hook there in the top and just keep winding between the two loops bring your second one in hook it in and then everything's nice and compact you just have your weight hanging up there all right so we've got our main line here coming up probably about four or five foot there maybe about six foot then we've got our uh first hook about 18 inches down second hook and then a little bit of weight um the last step is going to be to write your information on here with a sharpie again that's going to depend on where you're at some places you have to have your name and address phone number um some places you just have to have like your conservation id number from the game of fish some places you can put your uh like driver's license number it just depends on where you're at what's required so look up your eggs there as well that's gonna be it we're gonna put these to use see you next time
