Mine are 24” of pvc and 16” pool noodle end caps and an eye bolt that’s epoxied in the cap. As far as line goes I made them 20-25’ with a 3 hook set up. I put a swivel on a trot line clip about every 4’ starting 2-3’ off the bottom. Then I made my drops so I can clip them on and off with the trot line clip, they range from 10-14” each has a 7/0 eagle claw circle hook.

Yep, make the drops just long enough that when you hang the drop from the top of the 5 gallon bucket the clip is just short of the bottom of the bucket so it hangs straight. Works great. And if you have little kids helping run the lines you can un-clip the hooks as they get to the boat. If there is a big fish on the bottom hook you don't want any hooks still tied on around those kids.

Do you put the clips on the drops or the jugs?
Also if you clip a clip to a swivel instead of the line will it hold like it’s supposed to?

I put the clips on the drops, and I clip them directly to the line. That way depending on where I'm fishing I can set the drops at whatever depth I want and I don't have any swivels on the line to get tangled up when rolling the noodle up. The clips I use have a swivel on them to help with the line getting tangled up.
