JohnnyD:
My arsenal of Slug-gos are White, Crystal (white w/ glitter), black, blueback herring, mackeral and eel colored.
I agree that the bues hit either when it first hits the water, or when I quick reel at the end of the drift.
As for the bass, they will hit with a tapping strike on a slow retrieve, or a slam on a jigging retrieve. One way I can gauge whether it's a blue or a bass is the head shake. Bass shake their heads in a slow, thumping method, while blues have a more rapid-fire, quick headshake. Note: schoolies have been known to shake like a blue, but they don't have the body weight to pull it off effectively.
One plus is that since the fish hit the body and hook most of the time (90% for me) I haven't needed steel leaders for some time.
