Jug line with noodle
Rig up jug line floats from just about anything that floats and is visible. Milk containers and soda bottles make great float. Paint jugs with a bright color if greater visibility is desired. Purchase swimming noodles from a retailer to use as an inexpensive, high visibility float. - 2). Fashion jug line anchors from just about anything that is compact and heavy. Use a brick that has been broken in half or a piece of scrap metal. Rocks could even be used as an anchor as long as the jug line twine can be securely tied to the rock.

Jug line with 2-liter pop bottle.
Make the main jug line from heavy twine that can be purchased from any hardware store. Use no more than two hooks on each jug to prevent tangles and for safety concerns. Rig an anchored jug line by attaching a long enough section of twine for the depth of water being fished. Securely tie the twine to the jug's handle and to the anchor. - 4). Tie on two of the three-way swivels, one on the upper third of the line and the other on the lower third of the twine. Run a two- to three-foot dropper from each swivel of 40- to 50-pound monofilament. Attach a hook to each end of the monofilament droppers. Bait both droppers and you are ready to fish.
- 5). Rig a drifting jug line by using enough twine to extend one-fourth to one-third of the water's depth. Thread a small weight on the twine and tie on a conventional swivel and attach a two- or three-foot section of the monofilament. Attach the hook and the bait.
- 6). Rig the swimming pool noodle by first cutting the noodle in half. Attach the twine by tying to one end of the noodle. Rig the noodle as in one of the steps described above. When a fish is hooked and pulling on the line, the noodle will stand up on one end, acting like a fish or strike indicator.
