9" Yum Houdini shads

Cape cod tackle has them.anyone fish these rigged like a sluggo? if so what do you think of them.

[Christian]

i fished them with the hook they come with. and they work. the hook they come with is insanely sharp, but the barb needs to be bigger, but its still nice. i still prefer the sluggos over those, its hard to really rig these with 2 hooks. i do like the purple color the houdinis come in and you can adjust the tail some because it had a tail pannel that you can remove. buy a pack theyre definitly worth a try.

thanks christian. is the action like a sluggo ? it looks like if you left the tail as is it would swim more? without it dart like the sluggo.

[chief10]

is the bottom completely slotted??

[Christian]

the bottom is all a big slot for the hook. its basically has the same action as the slug, this lure glides more because of the tail.

Thanks!

i used them alot in the spring and took fish on them rigged with the hook from the package, on a 1 oz jig head on bottom in a river, and on bottom in the canal on heavier bullett heads and canal special bucktails. I really like houdinis and they hold up well (although they are a pain to rig on the lare bullets since the slit starts pretty close to the head.) I ended up winding some thread around a few of them on the jig heads and covered with 5 minute apoxy to make um last longer.

IMHO; they dont work any better than FinSfish or sluggos.
but they are dense and cast pretty well....
I wish they were solid instead of the lil slot in the bottom
