Thanks! not very familiar with those blanks. I would think you need a fast/stiffer tip to move the sluggo? I tried with an arra 1321 with a few I rigged. good action but tough to keep in contact with bait.
i have been fishing the slug with a single hook with decent results on bigger fish but next year i'm gonna switch to the double hook rig. been missing way too many fish lately. used to think it was just small fish that i was missing but last night i had a 20 something hit right at my feet. i'm sure if i had the stinger hook that fish would've been landed.
Thanks guys. I'll probably end up trying using and liking the two hook rig and only resorting to the original hook in weedy situations. (like the last week and a half!) The next question is does it change the action at all? It must not hurt it or guys wouldn't be doing it, but do you fish it differently? Does it act stiffer and lose it's "twitchyness" and act more like a tube bait or does it still dart side to side and then sit and quiver?
do not fish it like you would a live eel, you know reeeelllll sllllloooooowww pick up the pace a bit and keep twitching every couple turns of the reel. it stays flexible when rigged up just like it does out of the pack.
i just became a beleiver in sluggos last night.
around 30 keeper size fish.
i was just using a single 6/0 siwash with em, and they were destroying the sluggo. rigging some up tommorow morning to have for the night shift, lots of short strikes.
