Exact same as sluggos pretty much. They make some nice jigheads though for trolling and casting which are worth looking into.

Tough to beat an unweighted soft plastic though IMO

I agree, for the most part. I liked a little weight( four finishing nails in the head) when fishing a rigged slug-go to keep it down in moderate current. Size-wise, no other artificial catches like a rigged slug-go. Big shads and Pencils take big fish in the canal, but in RI i have faith that a slug will entice that one lone big fish like an eel would...

agree, I caught more fish this year from spring up until last weekend on white sluggos, even more than eels this year.
Been in schools of bass with 10 boats on them and I was the only guy hooking up over and over.

I have Hogys and have not used them yet, I assume the results would eb similar

When you're fishing in a boat in the middle of a blitz, have you tried working a white 9" slug-go unweighted like a pencil on the surface? Killer....

thats exactly how I have been fishing them. not only in blitzes but along the rocks, rips, points. fish are keyed into them for some reason this year. I've used them before but never had this much success
