That may be true that you avoid schoolies but you're also potentially missing big fish. I've seen many good fish taken on the rear hook. I think a friend that has landed his share of 30# fish has commented that the big ones always come on the back hook for some reason. He is fishing them fast like Steve's articles recommend which I think has alot to do with it.
I agree that the cost of the 12" sluggos is rediculous.
