I just go down to the Dollar General and buy my noodles there. You pay $1 for the same noodles that wally world and academy want $5-6 for. I use different color noodles for different depths.... pink for 4', yellow for 7' and orange for 12'. I just cut each one about 12" long and run my string through the hole in the noodle. I just use the black trottline string you find in the fishing dept at wally world. If you make sure to tie your knott at either end of the noodle it makes it REALLY easy to run them, when there's no fish the noodle lays flat and when there is a fish the noodle stands straight up. It's like a bright flag saying "here I am, heat the grease!" My dad and I usualy take them up the river by Simmesport later in the summer, one or two trips will give us enough catfish to last all year.
