slug go help

[Bass Grant]

i bought a pack of them havent really used them yet how do you suggest using them? how would i fish it?

[Nice_Bass]

Unweighted on a sluggo hook or a toad hook.  Draw reaction strikes just like the flukes.  Let pause after a series of twitches.

texas rigged?

I love slug-gos. Let it drop when it hits the water, they have a great slow drop that will get strikes. As stated above quick twitches and then pauses work. You can also work it quick as a wake bait up top and get strikes.

Lovely baits.

The Sluggo is a killer bait that is often over looked. Weightless Texas Rigged, twitch, twitch, pause.

Yes, tex-exposed rig it just as the packaging states.  I also like the zoom flukes, they have a belly slot for the hook and also carry a more shad-like silhouette.  Really though, it is hard to beat the sluggo, just make sure everything is rigged perfectly straight so your bait is not doing corkscrews in the water.  If you need to go deeper, I believe  Bass Assassin makes a jig head specifically for soft jerkbaits.

The 3" version is about the deadliest drop shot bait there is.

Fished shallow in or around cover. Work it like a

feeding minnow.

probably a dumb question but who makes them. Where can you find them

[moby bass]

I have been using the Texposer hook (also by Lunker City)

instead of just a straight offset hook.   It is imperative that the sluggo be rigged perfectly straight.  I like them because they are slow to sink and I can work them nicely over weeds.  The texposer seems to add a little bit of keel.  Had a nice Crappie try to eat a 4" sluggo the other day.  Anybody ever try the 9" version?

I get mine at Dick's. They carry a good selection. Not nearly

the full Sluggo line though.

[Gorgebassman]

Lunker City makes the slugo and you can usually find them at your major tackle stores as well as online like at Tackle Wearhouse

For musky...and sure enough it worked.

Yes. We use the pink and white 9" for stripers. And ya know what? I'm going to give them a whirl for smallmouths this year too.

Did you use any kind of a steel leader, or just tie direct?

Picked up 9" rainbow trout and alewife today at Dick's, for $4.97 each. I want to try the rainbow in our river for northerns.

used a heave swivel from the main line which was #50 power pro, from there i attached about two feet or so of i believe #50-60 pound mono.  Tough to tie at first, but it also helps float the bait a bit.  I have also tied direct to the power pro and did not have a problem, just cut off a couple feet and retied after every fish.

[iceintheveins]

A great soft jerk, they sink a little slower than a fluke but have a little bit more wiggle. Rig them texposed with an EWG hook. Throw them out and let them sink slowly to your desired depth, and work them back with a series of twitches and pauses, varying the amount and intensity of the twitches and the length of the pauses.

[BassCats]

I like to throw it on a jighead or shakeyhead while fish are schooling on top. The larger bass seem to be on bottom eating the dying shad that fall after the small ones hit them on top. The slug go has outfished the senko and fluke in this instance everytime.
