I have used Sluggos fishing the Connecticut River spring run for well over 10 years. With moving current and the fish keying in on herring the hook-up ratio is high (70%) using just the hook that comes in the package. I also think reports of the inpackage hook being junk and prone to straightening is over stated as I have never had one straighten on fish into the high 30 lb range in heavy river current.
Funny as successful as I am with them in the spring I still dont use them much in the salt even with all the recent press regarding them.
