![]() These have worked for me as floats for 3 seasons now, drop a glow stick in and it lights the whole thing up. |

We use a cable tie from the jug to a plastic extension cord holder (wrap all excessive rope around it) but our original system of sliding buoys with reflective tape is between the jug/wrapped rope, and the net. It's probably overkill, we know, but we've never lost a net, yet, and that's counting the days following the Japan Tsunami, that sent major sea level changes over here. We're talking 5 foot depth changes in SD bay in less than 10 minutes. We nearly lost 2 nets that day as they were dragged about 50 yards for 1, and well over a 100 yards for the other, from where we left them. Without the overkill of jug & buoy, we're sure we'd have been out 2 nets that night. Many others were dragged from their original placements that night. If we were to pick one over the other, instead of doubling up, we'd chose the jug/glow stick combo, over the sliding buoy/reflective tape. Generally speaking the jugs are easier to locate, but on occasion when using a flashlight to find your net, that reflective tape can be very noticeable at a long distance.
