From a boat, i'll drift the rips with them. I use a 1 oz jig head at the most and cast up the current then do a very slow retrieve just bouncing it off the bottom. I like white, pink and gray during the day. I use it when the sand eels are around. I also try to use the least possible weight to just get it to the bottom but make it look natural. Also get them back in the boat within 50-75' past the rip or you'll have a doggie and be re-rigging all day. I've had some good days with sluggos but nothing, NOTHING compares to some nice fresh bait rigged right.
Also i use either the 4" or the 6" but I'm trying to imitate sand eels not regular eels.
Tie direct as well. I never ever use snaps for anything ever.
They are my fall back when the sand eels are around. This year I might switch to Ron-z's but they are really expensive so I'll at least give em a try.
