What does everyone use for theor trotline /throw line buckets or boxes ?
Heres the system I've been using for a while on my pond. Looks complpicated but really works well when I use it. I cam up with this whnn I was 15 and the orginal was kinda rough but this is the newr one.


Everything is made so as im waling down the bank ith the bicked all i have to do is take the hooks out of the foam,cant rember having this system tangle in the bucket.
First thing that goes out is the tbar on the outside of the bucket,(helps me remember which goes out first.)
Just stab this end in one side of the bank and start waking in the opposite direction.


As i walk the line come out the bucket till a hook come up, when that happes all i have to do is pull it out of the foam and toss it in the water.

After the first two hooks a float comes up. All i have to do is pull up the littpe Tbar keeper and take the float off.


After Two More hooks the sinkers come up ,these are housed in a pipe on the inside of the bucket.


After those are out its two morw hooks and another float.

Throw that one out then two morw hooks then a tbar on the other end of the bank.


And to wind it up just start at the last Tbar you put in and work uour way up to the first. I really like this compared to other systems because i dont have to worry about clipping this or tangles ect. When i wann fish i just grab the bucket and bait and Im gone. Now. If your wondering, I use the floats and weights because when put out properly they make basically a V under water , this allows for a petry ngood way to fish IMO. Not really nessecery but it worked for me.
Thanks !
God Bless !

We have started using trot lines on reels that have electric fencing wire. Set the reel up on a boat seat stand you can place in the front of the boat and use the reel tho reel in and let out. Set each line up with a clip on the end, you can set 3 lines to one reel by clipping the clips together. Then gave you end weight set up with a clip it all clip on and clip off. All our hooks are set up on bait coolers cheap and can be multiple use.

Makes picking up and running crap load easier man. I do like that bucket idea if we still used buckets i would prob steal it.. I like the foam idea.

looks like you have your hooks tied right. There's a right and wrong way to tie trotline hooks.
