- longer body (big bait = big fish)
- possibly scent
- more supple body

Basically I'd love something like the RONZ but cheaper. It does look like Lunker City is making a larger version of the Slug-go, but the dimensions look the same. We'll have to keep on snipping off the heads.
Maybe the photo didn't do it justice, but the new Sluggo is giant. It's almost triple the the girth of the 9". The 9" just looks like a waste of time next to the new one...

Being into big eels and big baits, the 9 just never really did it for me. I defy anyone not to get excited looking at the new Sluggo in person. Some will even dismiss it as too big if they don't like big serpents.

Guys who are afraid of blues might not get so excited though. And who isn't.
