okay, i've had good success with mckenna style sluggos, but fk'd up my rod arm elbow so workin rod tip is way too painful.. boo hoo. so i bought a ton of pt judes and hogy 1 oz swim tins to use on sluggos surfhogs and hogy regular and jign hogy. lookin for advice on matching heads to difrnt rubber sizes as well as speed of retrieves fishing from shore in slow current areas. thanks mucho in advance

You've got to work your arms in the "off-season".
I had a serious case of "caster's elbow" a few seasons ago, but since I started exercising/working out (upper body) my arms only get tired, not sore.
(I'm not talking heavy lifting / bulk up workouts, just medium toning workouts, more cardio than muscle building.)

I've had great success with the wobble head and plastics with fish up to 35#. In all fairness I haven't used it much from shore but my favorite way to use it is to troll it at a steady speed behind the yak. I feel pairing it up with a hogy or a 10" fishstix is vastly superior to a sluggo. These plastics tend to "obey" the natural motion that the wobble head imparts while the sluggo just doesn't have that same serpentine movement. If forced to choose I would go with the fishstix. A 10" black fishstix matched with the large wobble has accounted for alot of good fish for me at night. Match these 2 up, take it to a beach and just reel it in at a speed that gives you that serpentine "eellike" action. After a few casts you will know the exact speed you need to match if you take it with you at night in the surf. The action is really unreal and a must-see. The only problem, like most plastics in RI waters, is that once the toothy critters show up it gets expensive to use this setup.

wobbleheads seem to work good for me on a slow retreive and an occasional twitch for some extra action.They will swim fine without any action but if you fish it in clear waters give it a twitch and you'll see what I'm talking about.Try the Ronz tails with it also they swim nicely. :btu::btu:
