Hook up ratio on sluggos

[BassDawg]

only began fishing them last Fall, from Sept on................

most hook-ups were on the tail hook, and i've always rigged them
the way that Steve rigs them. after all, he invented the method and
i've always used his retrieve ~~to many successful nights in RI & MA.

was thinking of going with Hogy's line this year in a sort of comparison
experiment. you know sluggos (to find the fish), tie on a Hogy to see if El MoSax has a preference. last year i did that with blk 9" Sluggos and a blk med darter into the same white carpet and "hot" area.

no joy for the darter, went back to sluggos,
bite back AWWWN! that is one lethal lure, boyz..........!!!

I rig my 9" Slug-gos the same way each time: 3/4 - 1.75 oz. jig head. Trim off about 1/4 inch of tip to allow it to seat up against the jig cleanly, or as cleanly as possible. (Add glue to hook shaft to keep lure from slipping.)

The main difference would be the retreive, and this also depends on the fish and what they are going for. Sometimes a steady retreive will entice a strike, other times jigging will do.

The are, and never will be any rules for fishing a lure other than putting it in the water!
