Rigged Sluggo

[eelman]

Here is a photo Of the sluggo rigged properly, Steve does well with these, I tried them and like them but still for me a live eel is the ticket, however if I did not have any eels this would be my next choice , the action is amazing, If you guys think Storm shads are good, give these a try!![IMG][/IMG]

the process is the same as rigging an eel.

what hook size, brand, and type did you use, #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&?

[Fishpart]

#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&, can you get enough weight into one of them to cast with a conventional rig? I am interested in trying them, but I am concerned that they may be too light to cast properly on a conventional rig that starts out at 3/4 of an ounce...What is your experience?

They do look like the ticket though, I know that sluggos are DEADLY as far as the fish are concerned.

I did see the article Joe did on SRI about Steve's rigs

I fish the 9 inch sluggo on a 1 - 2oz jig.
The key for any type of rigging with Sluggos is to keep it straight.
If the hook is off, it will cause the Sluggo to swim oddly, even though sometimes the fish could care less. I have also rigged them in a modified Carolina rig style, rigging the Sluggo according to the package and adding the beads and 2 oz egg sinker. This works. My "go to rigging would have to be the 9 inch on the jig head.
