Types of Sluggos

[.dsaavedra.]

didnt want to thread jack the other sluggo topic, so i made my own. i have a pack of sluggos that my grandpa gave me when i was little. anyway, they are about 7.5inches long, but they are very very skinny! based on all the pics ive seen, sluggos are generally shad/fluke shaped. as in they tail is fat and tapers quick. well these look more like worms than any baitfish i've ever seen. they are very long, skinny, and have a slow taper. so, are there different types of sluggos? how can i use my sluggos? like a worm, a baitfish? thanks for any help.

well i just answered one of my questions. i was just on lunkers city's webpage (call me stupid but i didnt know that lunker city made sluggos!). i found out that they are sluggo ss. im gonna go read about them now. i'll still take any tips you have to offer though  ;D

I have several bags of sluggos my dad and I bought when they 1st came out.  They worked very good.  Believe it or not but the best color we discovered down here in S.Fl was the bubble gum color (pink).  They also work good for trout and snook.....The originals are long and slender.

You have a pack of the Sluggo "SS" lures.  Don't ask what the "SS" stood for, cuz I don't think they ever said.  I still have a few, and quite frankly I never had any success with them at all.  I much prefer the original's.  Way back when Charlie Ingram was hooked up with Lunker City as a sponsor, he did a show on the SS series.  Naturally he caught all kinds of bass : .  He mentioned that they were most effective during either the pre or post-spawn periods.  Can't really remember which.  All I know is that they never worked for me.  As lively as that tail is, it could possibly make a decent dropshot or shakeyhead bait.  Might be worth a try.

Sluggos.....man I think I have a kit of them somewhere back at my moms house when I was growing up there. Never really used them. But I think its time to make a phonecall and dig through that attic. Could be usefull not that the craze has worn off.

yea i think the SS stands for slinkier and squirmier. at least thats what it describes the bait as in the article for it. i never thought of using a shakey head. i'll have to try that...ive never shakey headed before....should be fun! thanks everyone.

I think when Lunker City first came out with them they said the SS stood for "super slim".   I love some of Lunker City's stuff but I've never tried the Slug-Go SS.
