Rigged Sluggo

[Roseneath]

The rigged sluggos cast fine with a conventional.

9" - Put two lunker city weights in the belly and one in the tail.

7.5" - One in the belly, one in the tail.

I rigged up a few months worth of sluggos over the past week (the weather has pinned me inside).

I find it less depressing when a Blue cigars my sluggos as compared to one of my eels. I actually stopped fishing eels after Steve showed me the way.

Plus now I don't have a 5-gallon pail and a bubbler in the corner of my kitchen (with wife wasn't too happy about that one)

I read the article on rigging these and I can't figure out where in the belly to put the 2 weights and I forget from the seminar.
anybody know?
thanks

Two near the top near the hook, kinda along the side of it to slightly below it. Don't put them in the middle between the two hooks or you will make it to rigid and kill the action. You kinda want one coming down along the hook on each side. If the points extend down below the hook a little inside the sluggo that's fine.

you mean the front hook right?

Slip go to Surfcasting-RhodeIsland site and click on Slug-go and he has the rigging steps there. I just finished 30 to start my season off
I don't use the circle hooks I like the Mustad 34007 5/0 front and 3/0 rear

If u look in the picture.U see no holes because it goes in the little recessed rib the rear one just under the that seam line u can see in the pic.One on each side.push em in towards the front.I bought one from Q-lane so i could see how he does it.It also gets one right in the tail.That one really makes it swing around an wiggle.I remember one o my trips to RI i got a hotel for a night it had a pool an I swim tested em in it.

Yes two up at the front hook and one in the tail. You can notice the one in the tail in the picture above. This will give it great action, it will dance and dart like crazy, have good tail action and castability.
