they are exactly the same... except one is 10 inces long and another is 14 inches long.. same diameter. in the water, they are completely different.. side by side on the same weight jighead, the 14 has a slower fall rate because there is more rubber. If i made the 14 inch one the same dimensions as the 10 incher it would be not have the sexy action that my 10 inch one has

IMO, sluggo should have kept their 12 inch sluggo the same diameter as well.. diameter effects how the rubber dives through the water. I am sure when guys get their hands on them, they will have trouble fishing them the same as a 9 incher.. they're going to require a lot more weighing to get them to dive at the same rates as the 9 incher.. Im not knocking sluggo, they're killer lures, but you cant just make a rubber bait bigger without changing the dimensions and expect it to act the same... personally, if i was going to fish that mongo 12 inch sluggo id rig it on a ball head and somehow rig a stinger hook near the tail... its going to require a lot of lead.

Im not saying mine is better, nor am i saying sluggos are better.. Im just defending why my 10 and 14 inch baits are so alike-

oh wait.... i just noticed i didnt attach the pic.. sorry..
