PVC fishing jugs are a durable and compact alternative to traditional jugs made from bottles and containers. They are easy to assemble from inexpensive materials like PVC pipes, caps, foam noodles and eyebolts. The instructions provide a step-by-step process to cut and glue the pieces together to create a fishing jug that holds a sliding weight, which will cause the jug to stand up when a fish bites on the line, signaling the fisherman. Fishing with these jugs involves baiting the hook and deploying the jug on the water with the sliding weight positioned at the top so it lays flat initially before tilting when fish bite.

ugging for catsh is a fun summertime activity. The excitement of watching a jug bob and disappear is a great thing to share with a child or someone new to shing. Dealing with a tangled mess of bleach and detergent bottles and milk jugs, however, will kill a fun day on the water in a heartbeat. Rather than battle the hassle of traditional jugs, why not built a better shing jug? PVC shing jugs t the bill quite well. They are durable, compact, and easy to assemble; and when built with a little ingenuity, they can even let you know when the sh are biting!

HOW TO FISH WITH THE SMART JUG:
Bait hook with liver, worms, cutbait or local bait of choice. Deploy jug with sliding weight in the top end (foam end), so it lays at on the water. When sh bites, the jug will tilt and slide the weight to the bottom and jug will stand up, signaling a bite. Check with local regulations on using jugs, special licenses and limits. Dont forget to bring a child along on your next jug-shing trip and enjoy the sh fry afterward! Weight Swivel
