I havent had much expierience with the sluggos in the salt, what size weights would be recomended for the 9 inch. I tired using cut nails, but i didnt feel like i was getting the action that i should with the sluggos.

try sticking four finishing nails (i think the ones i use are 2" long) in the head. this will keep the head down in moderate current and the action is great...

Thank you. The problem always seemed that the sluggo wasnt staying down very well. I will definetly give that a try.
