When you mention Jugging, catfish juglines,flagging juglines and catfish, most people have a mental picture of the traditional bleach bottle bobbing around, out in the water.
However, a new trend in catfish jugging is gaining in popularity, with fishermen and fisherwomen. The catfish jugs of today are high tech compared to the bleach bottle days. Below is a very popular style of Catfish jug. The jugs are known as "Flagging Jugs" and "Catfishing Jugs" or "Flagging Juglines".
The jug, which is not really a jug at all floats horizontal in the water. When a catfish strikes the baited line, the tug triggers the internal flagging system and makes the jug stand up, vertical. NO MORE GUESSING and wondering if you gotta fish or not. Many fishermen and jugliners in East Texas use this type of jug on Lake Houston, Lake Conroe and other lakes as well. The most common and most popular style jug are the flagging juglines.

Many anglers choose to use those colored swimming pool noodles in the construction of their homemade juglines. A word of caution, If you are not a commercial fisherman, your jugs are required to be white...
For the time it takes to track down all the materials to build a set of juglines including the white foam, I have found it much more easier to purchase the juglines already made up............ Just my Opinion.....
In Texas your catfish juglines are required to be white.
