Favorite Sluggo?

Since I fish these bad larry's all the time, I was just wondering what everyone's faorites were before I ordered some more (Their website has some colors I haven't seen, but need to fish ).

Personally, I am VERY partial to pink, but white and yellow work too.

I have fished them a little by boat and the pink has worked for me. But is there a color that the dog fish don't like??
I was getting better last year with them as I was not letting sit as much so the dog fish were less likly to grab them.

Ledgerunners
I've had some very good success with GS's smoke split tails with holographic glitter, pearl split tails, 9" megajerk black over gray, and 8" curly tail grubs also in smoke with glitter.
Yessiree Bob, they out swim sluggos any day of the week.

White, 3" Pink for the worm hatch. Rainbow trout used to be my favorite, but I ran out and never re-stocked

I with Mike P. 9" red shad.

Neat trick I learned quite by accident. Throw a couple of 9" red shad in a baggy with any lighter colored sluggos like rainbow trout or smelt. Leave them for a while. The red will bleed into the other slugs and make a great slug for using at false dawn or dusk in the canal. This also works great with the grey over black ledgerunners.

Need some guidnace... I bought some 9" sluggos Ark Shiners...used it once and never tried it again...... am I missing out? I dont see the advantage over a swimmer like a mambo. I'm talking purely surf casting and not weighing them down with a jig head. Its seems people rave over these things adn I just dont have confidence in it. Do you use them at night? Jet cast, jerk and reel?

Black 6" 9" Red shad in the same and Tequila in 6" Why they don't make a 9" tequila(and I've asked) is beyond me.

All this being said, LedgeRunners are a far superior product. Better rubber, glitter, scented, tons of great colors.

Smoke over clear ledgerunner in 6" and 5 1/2" splittail... those are my "go to" lure.

I also like the 6" in olive when fishing the cape/nantucket to match the sandeels.
