The rigged sluggos cast fine with a conventional.
9" - Put two lunker city weights in the belly and one in the tail.
7.5" - One in the belly, one in the tail.
I rigged up a few months worth of sluggos over the past week (the weather has pinned me inside).
I find it less depressing when a Blue cigars my sluggos as compared to one of my eels. I actually stopped fishing eels after Steve showed me the way.
Plus now I don't have a 5-gallon pail and a bubbler in the corner of my kitchen (with wife wasn't too happy about that one)
