nickw234 Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 I was at BPS last night and saw the Slug-Go's but talked myself out of buying them has anyone used these and had them work? or they a waste of money? Quote
EastTexasBassin Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 I remember all the hype when they came out. Slug-gos were the hottest thing you could buy. I wouldn't call them a waste of money. I've caught many fish with them, but these days I have other preferences for that kind of bait. I like flukes and lake fork tackle magic shads. Quote
nickw234 Posted July 13, 2009 Author Posted July 13, 2009 What size magic shad you use and what size hook? Quote
Super User CWB Posted July 13, 2009 Super User Posted July 13, 2009 Slug-Gos still work. Rig them correctly and you can walk the dog just under the surface. Rig it with a slight bow to it like a banana and it comes to the top and still walks the dog. Plus alot of guys have forgotten about it. I use Flukes and Zeros but still use Slug-Go's and Fin-S Fish. Great baits. Quote
bigtimfish Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Dude a slug go is killer. I personally will fish it before I will a fluke. The only downside to them is the lack of colors. they have the basics, but I personally would like to see a zoom type color selection. Do not know if it really matters to the fish but I bet they would sell more. They are so versitile it is ridiculous. Weightless Tx rigged is my preffered.Fish it from top to bottom. Quote
bassman31783 Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 I absolutely love them. I think a lot of people have gotten away from them and gone to the fluke style baits. I fish both all the time. Some times a fluke will kill them, then other days the Slug-Go is ticket. Quote

Super User Bassin_Fin@tic Posted July 13, 2009 Super User Posted July 13, 2009 I like them carolina rigged. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted July 13, 2009 Super User Posted July 13, 2009 It's the only "fluke" I fish. 8-) Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted July 13, 2009 BassResource.com Administrator Posted July 13, 2009 Great baits. They catch a lot of fish and are quite durable. Quote
guitarkid Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Great baits. They catch a lot of fish and are quite durable. plus they come in every size you could possibly want. I saw some at BPS that were anywhere from 12-24 inches long, they were monsters. -gk Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted July 13, 2009 Super User Posted July 13, 2009 They work better than flukes in some of the ponds that I fish in. Quote
SuperNewbie Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 dang it there goes more money i dont have oh well you win this round bait monkey!!! Quote
PondHunter Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 I really like them. Have even caught fish in almost muddy water with very low visibility on them, without rattles or wild colors. The action of a Slug-Go does it all. Tying it on with a loop knot makes it dart even more. Some lures dont look like much in the package or on the shelf, but really come to life in the water, and the Slug-Go is one of them. Quote

Should have trusted your feelings my young padawan. May the force be with you. ;D They show you how to rig it on youtube.Their nice. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted July 13, 2009 Super User Posted July 13, 2009 Sluggos rock. They have a somewhat more lively action than a fluke, but they don't cast as far nor sink as fast. If your fishing shallower water or need a slower fall, that is a plus. Quote
Super User cart7t Posted July 14, 2009 Super User Posted July 14, 2009 I've got a pretty good sized bag full of Sluggo's. Plenty of good colors too, got them back when they had more colors available. Also have the Culprit version though I forgot what they called them. A really terrific spring time bait. Quote
Super User Raul Posted July 14, 2009 Super User Posted July 14, 2009 Also have the Culprit version though I forgot what they called them. Jerk Worm Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted July 14, 2009 Super User Posted July 14, 2009 Even the tiny 3" version on a #2 EWG has it's place in my finesse bag!! Quote
Stringjam Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 They have consistently caught bigger fish for me over the years than the SuperFluke / Bass Assassin types. Tho I noticed Zoom now has an upsized version of the Fluke. I must try. Quote
Super User cart7t Posted July 14, 2009 Super User Posted July 14, 2009 Also have the Culprit version though I forgot what they called them. Jerk Worm That's the one. Quote
Skinnyh2ofishin Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 My favorite "fluke" by far! Since my fishing is split between bass fishing and saltwater fishing, the Slug-Go is a staple in all of my fishing as it works perfectly for both situations. It's one of the best lures you can use on the flats here for reds, snook, and trout, when the grass grows up and mats in the shallows, and that makes them great for bass too! Quote
BenoBreath Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 Even the tiny 3" version on a #2 EWG has it's place in my finesse bag!! Rig a black 3" this way, with 6lb. test, with a splitshot 18-24" above the hook. Pre/post spawn, bass killer ! ........ :-X Quote
