popin plug, to attempt to answer your question about sluggos at night, yes the big trend that has been made famous by Steve McKenna is using the 9 inch black sluggo at night as an eel immitation. You can also use them during the day and most anglers will tell you that lighter colors are better for daytime fishing.
As far as sluggos vs eels. I gotta tell you that I spent the majority of this season trying to figure out the correct retrieve for the 9 inch sluggo rigged McKenna style. I got skunked with them a lot. I would go out with big confidence in them and after an hour of nothing, I would break out a red fin or popper if it was light out and manage a few fish. So I started throwing them during the day so I could see the thing in the water and learn the proper retrieve. Once I got the feel for it, I started catching more fish at night. They do work, but it takes practice. In contrast, the first time I fished live eels, I caught fish.
