clogston, when i rig mine i dont glue anything until its all put together. just open the hole in the sluggo where your hook is protruding and squirt some glue in there and your all set. I also dont do any glueing until i have completed a batch of about 10 or 20. Infact, i do all of the steps in groups. Usually after the 2nd or the 4th sluggo they all come out perfect.
That Nebe - He's right again.....
Rig it, then push the eye and top part of the shank forward a little to expose the wrap put a little-dab-will-do-ya of Zap on....Presto all done.
Do about 30 dozen and you should be all set for the season.
I'll rig a bunch - then glue a bunch.
I make things for a living so i am always thinking of how to make things easier and faster.. What would be cool is to build a jig that would hold the sluggo and allow a rigging needle to stab the sluggo in the head and slide perfectly right out the tail where you want it. Kind of like making an arbor press into a frankenstien like sewing machine. Pull down on the lever and the needle goes through the sluggo, hook the dacron on the needle and lift up the lever and the dacron comes out the head of the sluggo... you could do one every 10 seconds.
