Jug lines have to have 5 or less hooks. One end of the main line must be connected to a floating device. The floating device has to be white in color for personal consumption and orange for commerical use. You have to have a valid gear tag attached. A gear tag is a tag that has you name and address and the date you set the jugs out on it.

Trotlines are similar. You can have up to 50 hooks on a trotline. Each hook must be 3 feet apart. Both ends have to be securely tied to a non moving item. A gear tag is required as well.
