I use both 1 and 2 hook sluggos and have done well with each. For me, its more a matter of fishing them differently vs. "when" to fish one or the other.

I fish the 2 hook sluggs with a faster, methodic, jigging motion..rod pointed slightly to the side. (the way I fish pencil poppers).

On the other hand, I fish the single hook sluggo with slower, methodical, slight snaps of the rod tip, allowing the sluggo to fall in between snaps.

both methods can be deadly.
