Nah, I will always toss eels But once in awhile I like to toss the sluggo, recently I have had very good luck with them and my confidence with them is building. When you look at them in the water man, they do look like an eel they come right to life, its the best artificial I have ever used. Tonight I rigged up a bunch !
I can fish them with casting tackle but its a lot of work, I have to keep the rod sideways ( for the way I fish them) I go faster than the pumping rythem of a rigged eel, which by the way I am going to start fishing again.
But I can honestly say, this past week I have caught as many bass on the sluggo as I have caught on the live eels, including a 28lb fish friday night. So , they have peaked my interest. Steve fishes them all the time and I have been resistant to get away from my eels but once I tried it I said "ok these things work" One thing Steve does that he does not mention in his on the water article , is that he sprays his sluggo every other cast with bunker oil...
He buys it in bulk and transferes it to a small spray bottle to carry with him and, it works
