[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3806175, member: 15054"] I built a few different sized jugs and found that the large styrofoam ones the fish got off of more often. The ones with heavy bottom weights the fish would get off of at the same rate as a heavy jug. The lighter jugs that can go under easier or had no weight the fish stayed hooked up and the lines were not as twisted. I see my large jugs from a distance bouncing up and down in the water only to get to it and no fish and slimed line. Channel cats were the culprits of jugs bobbing up and down. Most hooked in the side of the mouth I did hook some that had the mouth torn in the corner from a previous escape from a hook. So my theory is make a jug that pulls under easy enough to keep from ripping lips. I caught more fish off jugs with minimal weight 1/2 oz on no weight. When I drift fish the Arkansas river using fishing poles I get more fish with NO weight or 1/2 oz. How do you guys set your jugs up? [/QUOTE]
