Hoop Net bait puck?

[William Novotny]

I used the milk jug last night as well and the worked flawlessly. I ran the rope with a carabiner at the end through the handle then latched back onto the rope making a noose. Then to change depths I put a kink of rope at the desired depth through the handle then looped it over the whole jug making a kind of cinch not. The extra rope got wound around a 99 cent store rope holder so it wasn't floating in boat traffic. Just be sure to leave a little slack if your dropping at low tide because in the event of a big tide movement you may come back and your floats will be under water

the bugs are going to be able to get the bait out of that type. you just want the scent. i know Drake used the same bait several trips in a row, just re froze it and it worked.

I got lazy and got the bait cage for $5. Hopefully it last me a few trips.

One came loose last night so I wanted to come up with a better way to secure them. This is what I came up with.

I cut the string that holds the tag ends of the netting together which forms the opening. Then I weaved a short bungee in the loops and zip tied them to the lower ring. I cut the end off so they wouldn't rust and get hung up, then burned the tips to clean them up.

The bungees cost $2.94 from home depot.

Took about 2 minutes for each hoop.

This should help
