How To Make Jug Lines for Kayak Fishing

DIY video to answer the mail… how to make jug lines for kayak fishing. In this case, the jug lines we used to catch a nice Catfish the other day… https://youtu.be/xEr5F5tYT3g

Have tried various jug lines including commercial and homemade diy jug lines. So far, liking this one. It does not flag but works well in windy conditions and is sensitive enough to see the strike.

Do give these a try! Easy to make jug lines, and you don’t have to use the same material as listed below. Can substitute material as needed!

Here is the material list…

• 3/4″ PVC Pipe
• 3/4″ End Cap
• Braided Line
• Dropper Line
• Circle Hooks
• Trot-line Clips
• Screws
• Barrel Swivels
• Zip Ties
• Weights

More TBT time... Don't forget Trout Stockings at Turner Falls!

Another fun trip to beat the heat; this one is a TBT to Turner Falls Park in Davis, OK. The OPST Commando Head made for ease of casting by the Waterfall using an “air anchor” to avoid the metal railing along the walkway. See full video at: https://youtu.be/n-vkX-REKkc

Cabelas CGR 2wt Fiberglass Fly Rod and Echo Ion Reel | Small Feeder Creek Fly Fishing #cabelas #flyfishing #fiberglassrod

Decided to fish a little feeder creek with the Cabelas CGR Fiberglass Fly Rod. It’s a 2wt with an Echo Ion 2/3wt Fly Reel. Handy fly rod that makes for fun fishing for little bluegill, sunfish, and fingerling bass!

Been using the Cabelas CGR off and on over the years, and have not had any issues… do need to make a slight adjustment in timing the cast as the fiberglass rod has a slow action.

Liking the rod and the ability to take advantage of rod’s slow action to get a fishing fly to where the fish are lurking… of course in this case, a little feeder creek required minimal casting distance.

PS: Lots of rain that morning caused another pond upstream from where we fished to overflow. Able to catch a Bass being washed down the feeder creek. See it at…

More Pond Fishing | Spincasting Roostertails| #zebco #spincasting #pond

Another pond fishing round with Spincasting gear… Zebco Authentic 11 and Roostertails keep working. This time at the pond behind In-N-Out Burger. Bass were bigger than the fingerling Bass caugth the day prior at a different pond. No Bruisers but still lots of fun catching them on ultralight gear.

Fish preferred the Firetail Roostertail in 1/16oz. Did try a White Roostertail but only a few short strikes. Did see a number of fish trail the inline spinners… at times, had to use the stop and go retrieve to get them to take!

Gear Used:

• Zebco 11 Micro Reel: https://amzn.to/2Y8dK0H
• Berkley Lightning Rod 4-1/2ft (discontinued)
• Shakespeare Microcast Combo
