[QUOTE="Master Carper, post: 3806745, member: 15527"] I like gallon jugs that have a good solid handle on them. From jug to sinker is 16 feet. Sinker weights vary from 3 ounces to 18 ounces, depending on wind and current speed. The first 10/0 circle is 1 1/2 to 2 feet above the sinker. The second 10/0 circle is 2 feet from the other hook. If a third hook is added, it will be 4 feet above the higher hook on the line. All line used is the relatively stiff tared line that has a test rating of 175 pounds. It does not fray easily and will handle a lot of catfish before needing replaced. Bait used is cut shad or live perch. When through jug fishing, the line, hooks and sinker are put inside the jug to be completely out of the way. All jugs have a waterproof label attached to them, with all information as per ODWC rules and regulations.
