[QUOTE="Swine, post: 2707581, member: 15717"] Keep jugs simple... treble hooks will be more pain than they are worth. Can't even begin to think of all the over thinking I've done over the years on jug setups and bait to use. Now I'm using 3 noodles about 12 inches long stacked in a triangle/pyramid held by a couple of large zip ties.... Why this you might ask. Very easy to set your line length without the extra uncoiling. Get your length to the desired setting and run the line beween the noodles to keep it place. line length depends were you fish. middle of a lake can be 50' in some cases. Get to know your area. Heavy weight helps with strong current and possible a large fish swimming off with your jug. 16oz solo cups with quckcreate and some type of loop to tie to is good. I've used coat hangers to nice eye bolts over the years. I prefer to use trout line quick disconnects for the the lateral lines with the hooks. Easy to remove the fish from the main line and stop all the flailing empty hooks when the fish goes into a a death roll in your boat. Circle hooks with GOOD SHARP points will increase you success of hook ups. I stress on that good hooks, you get what you pay for in most cases. Bait.... use what the fish mostly eats... oklahoma thats SHAD. Hands down the best bait and easy to catch. Learn to throw and good LARGE castnet. 8' radius or larger will make your life much easier. Worried about catching bait... then use something to get started with then go hunt for shad. Make one run on your jugs and switch over to your freshly caught bait. [/QUOTE]
