While waiting for my Ronz's to arrive, I tried a sluggo (with the head cut back a 1/2 inch or so) with an 3/4 oz Owner jig head. It looks good too. I have only fished it once with no luck so far....but I have confidence in it. The ROnZ's are big and thick and impregnated with a stink. The heads fit perfectly too. The taper of the body is really nice.

I put my order in today.
Emailed Ron Z...he said Saltwater edge was the place to go.

Also waiting for my RonZ's to arrive. I put 9" black sluggo on a 1.5 oz. Point Jude wobble head. 7" on a 3/4 oz. head. Had fish on both set ups:kewl:

Is RON Z Ron Popeil's kid?

90% of the fish are in 10% of the water.

These are awesome. It caught when nothing else did last night. I too would like to see a slightly heavier hook. esp on the 3 oz mode (which casts like a sombitch) It looks like an owner hook and is of good quality and is sharp but it seems a tad too thin. Lost a large last night within sight, very impressive fish. The hook was slightly bent but not out of shape that I should have lost the fish, it turned and the head flew out of the water like a bullet. After a couple fish I had some trouble keeping the tail on the head. I used some zapagap on the collar and head and it seemed to hold for the rest of the night. It also tends to find weed and rocks but all in all...great lure, a must have... fish seem to attack this thing with vigor! The first hit I had drove the butt of the rod into my groin and ...well, lets say, caused some temporary discomfort

I can attest. I heard Sandman's high pitch yell from down the beach when he got that hit :laughs: It's true, there were only a few of us on the beach that night with an ugly East wind and the only two fish caught were on the Ronz. I bought some the next morning. Nice job Jim.

How'd you do last night?

Where I was it was a hay-field of eel grass, difficult to fish plugs at all. Moved to where we hooked up eariler in the season and while somewhat fishable got the skunk there. Waves were weird....stacking on top of of each other so the first one hits you in the waist, the next one comes before the first can retreat and hits you in the chest and sometimes a third right after that in the sholder/head forcing you back. It was a wet and weedy night without much to show.

Maybe tonight.
