[QUOTE="TedKennedy, post: 3806661, member: 25419"] I've refined my jugging technique to adapt to the kayak. I use PVC with a weight (piece of stainless bar, or rebar, whatever you have) Schedule 40, 1", about 26" long. Pool noodle length of about 12-14" IIRC. I cut some 1" copper tubing and added one cap. Bent over some brazing rod into a "U" that sticks out of the copper. Melt lead, fill copper, result looks like a big copper shotgun shell with a brass loop on one end. Weighs 1.25 lbs, which seems optimal for the two rivers I fish. I use big circle hooks - one 18" off bottom, the other a foot or so above that. Sometimes I may run hooks closer to the surface. Water conditions dictate that. I almost never lose fish, and rarely does one die. I run my jugs frequently, they have my name, etc...on them, and I can assure you, with the time and money I have invested in them I don't neglect them. Nothing like watching some big 'ol bouncing jugs in the summertime! [/QUOTE]
