Ok this is interesting! John one way to keep the sluggo from slideing is to "peg it". You can use a toothpick going through the plastic into the eye of the hook and trimming the ends. The hooks they give you with the sluggos are low in hook-up percentages, GS rigs will work better. Rigging with the hook exposed and super glueing it using thread near the eye of the hooks works well, Specialist showed me that trick. Although lots of regulars at the Ditch may use jigs from 3 to 5 oz. my best producer was a 2 oz. bullet with a 7" Fin-s-fish! Another regular does good with a 1.5 oz. eel-skin jig! You can use lighter jigs but it will limit you somewhat. The trick is to find the areas to fish them. Also when the tide slows lots of guys leave??? This is still a good time but you have to change your pattern and we even go to an un-weighted sluggo or a lighter jig with maybe a shad. GS you rigs will work there and you don't have to work them as hard that 7 knot current does alot of the work for you!
