Has anyone had any luck in the breachways w/ sluggos? leadheads?
You don't want to overweight the sluggo - kills the action.
A 9" Sluggo with insert weights (3 of the 3/32nd size) weighs 1.4oz -heavy enough for most conditions.
Try timing your casts to present to the last wave of a set, or time your casts to present to the backside of an incoming breaker.
Wave sets are often in fives or sevens, if you cast into a breaking wave or in the middle of set with any light lure you are going to get pushed around.
Presenting to the last wave of a set is a very high percentage cast.
