I did notice no mention of adding weight(other than the hook).How well does this cast compared to the double hook weighted sluggo?

They don't have quite as much weight rigged that way, but you can add weight if you want. The single hook on its own is heavier than the two hook combined. You really only need to add tail weight. When I rigged them this way, I seldom used weights. When I did, I would use nails. As #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& said, they are not as dense as the lead so you need to use larger or more of them to get the same effect. It is, however, a viable option. I seriously doubt a bass will care if you use a nail or lead or if your rig weigh .02 ounces less than the guy standing next to you.
By the way, Tim Coleman uses the single hook method and he has taken some impressive fish over the years on slug-gos rigged this way.
