I fish a Sluggo/lead head combo exactly like I fish a jig. Cast, thumb it down and work it over the bottom. They're more buoyant than jigs, so it's harder to keep them in contact with the bottom, but a lot of times, they don't have to be dead on the bottom to catch

They're especially good when you're fishing from a point with a cut-out in the bank downtide. Let them drift as close to the bank as you dare.

And the 4" size makes a very nice jig trailer. Won't cut your cast down as much as pork, and it won't fold over the hook and make you miss a fish like pork does, either

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
