I have been looking for white noodles to complete my juglines but can not find them anywhere. I understand that a "fun noodle" is simply made from a closed cell polyehtylene foam. I have checked several websites but they either offer the right material in the wrong color or the wrong material with the right color. Anyone know where I can find the elusive white noodle: website, phone number, anything. I am looking for a tube or sheet, 2 inches in either diameter or thick.

SSI industries in Houston should have what you are looking for. Google them.

Just FYI...an alternative to using the white SSI noodles is to buy regular swimming pool noodles and a roll of white duct tape. I do this because I'm not about to go to Houston to purchase the white noodles. Also, the white duct tape comes in handy because you can write your "set-out" dates right on the tape and just put a new piece on when you fill it up. Good luck.

I use zip ties and white trash bags over the regular noodles.

WalMart has a fairly good grade of white duct tape, use like HuntNETime said.

I use crab trap floats but one size bigger and I cut up a bleach bottle for tags
SSI has it and it is called backer rod. the purpose that it is really made for is to fill expansion joints in roads and parking garages. It comes in a variety of sizes from 1" - 6".

The first set of jug lines I made, I used swim noodles. I painted them white. Bad idea!!!!! The paint flaked off and stuck all over my boat. Then I wrapped them in white duct tape. That worked great.
Down side is, if you get any chop on the water, they are hard to find. If you get a big fish on them, he can hold it underwater and swim a long ways. I now use square cubes of styofoam. They are more bulky in the boat, but much easier to spot on the lake.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.

People are bad about stealing them on Livingston. When I first started using them a few years ago it was not a problem. I could set out a few then run over to some white bass spots and come back later to haul in my catfish. Can't do that now. I don't understand how people could have a vaule system that makes it okay to take others belongings, and hey, we are talking about $2.00 worth of material at the most. However there are people who think it is worth lowering their self as a person to steal 2 bucks worth of foam and pvc.

I bought a case, 102' I think (17 pieces @ 6' each); used four 72" pieces
Will sell by the 6' piece (8-9" jugs) if you are in the SW Houston area or want to come by
