...or just buy Hogys with the 2 hook system and rig them in all of 30 seconds. With your eyes closed after the first couple of times.

Hunters, you wanna try and keep the sluggo as strait as possible..the more you do the easier it will become.
I use a long piece of thru wire with a loop and a sharpened end. You just gotta feel ure way thru, if it starts to go off to the side, back the needle up and try again.

my next 6 went alot better. I didn't add the zap a gap until i buried the shaft of the top hook into the slugo.

I am using a wire hanger with a filed point on one end.. seems to work ok.

Lay the Flat side on the table, Look down as if a birds eye view and just slide it straight.....and its not a race, take your time and it will go straight

I use the top of old CB antennas for needles. They are useally made of stainless steel and are a lot stiffer than old coat hangers!! Beat one end flat and drill a pin hole in it, the other end sharpen to a looooong point, the longer the better. I even polished the point and flat end with a buffing wheel. Makes it slide thru very very easy!!!!

Don't use the hook in package. A good one hook alternative is the Mustard limerick in 8/0 no. 31022. This is tube lure hook and needs to be straightened out before placed in the 9 inch Slug-go. Also , close the eye and wrap the shank with thread or 50 lb. dacron then super glue and push into sluggo. The guy who originally introduced me to the sluggo 4 seasons ago uses this hook/method and is happy with it. It is a ALOT easier and quicker to rig and effective but I have found you will miss some fish , epecially dinks, because of the one hook. He doesn't care as he is looking for cows. His best is 47 on this rig.

When fish hit, they tend to rip the glued, stringed hook out of the plastic. I don't think you can re-glue, on the spot, due to the saltwater intrusion and prefer to replace it with another from the bag. What is your experience?
