Tip Card #06 Jug Line Fishing, and Improvised Drinking Straw Lure
Jug Line Fishing Tip Card
This weatherproof survival tip card contains the basic information for how to improvise a fishing lure from a drinking straw, as well as jug line fishing, which entails a large floating object (plastic bottle, pool float etc.) tied to a line with a weight at the end, and at least one hook (but more can be added) when a fish grabs the baited hook, the float sinks, and then pulls back up to the top of the water again, which helps set the hook. This also helps you to easily determine if the jug has a fish on it or not at a glance. You can also weight one end of the jug so that it lays horizontally on the water, and when a fish bites, and pulls the jug, the weight falls turning the jug vertical so you can tell even easier, if you have a fish on. This is a great passive way to collect food, since you can set several jugs and come back periodically to check them.
Drinking Straw Fishing Lure
This weatherproof survival tip card contains the information needed to turn a common drinking straw, into a very effective shrimp lure. This technique works best with clear straws (but any will do) as you can put colored objects (paracord, moss, etc) inside the clear straw simulating the organs inside small shrimp and adding some color to the lure. trash like drinking straws can be easily found in many waterways, and coves, or on the banks of rivers, lakes, and streams, after storms.
How to Make a Jug Line to Fish With
A jug line is an easy and effective fishing method, especially for catching larger freshwater fish like catfish. It involves attaching a fishing line, hook, and bait to a floating jug that drifts or remains anchored in the water. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make a jug line for fishing.
Gather Your Materials
To build a jug line, you’ll need the following:
Bait the Hook
Bait your hook using the type of bait that works best for the fish you're targeting. Common options include:
- Live bait: Such as worms, minnows, or small fish.
- Cut bait: Pieces of fish or meat that attract larger fish like catfish.
- Stink bait: Specially designed for catfish, this smelly bait can increase your chances of attracting fish.
Prepare the Jug and Line
Set the Jug Line in the Water
Place your jug line in the water, allowing it to drift in areas where fish are likely to be, such as near underwater structures, deep holes, or ledges. You can let the jug float freely or anchor it in place by adding another weight to the jug.

Monitor and Retrieve
Keep an eye on the jug line. If the jug starts moving erratically or goes underwater, it’s likely that a fish is on the line. To retrieve the fish:
- Carefully pull the jug in by hand, being mindful of the fishing line and hooks.
- Once the fish is close, handle it carefully and remove it from the hook.
