The megajerks are nice but arent as soft as the slug-os. I also emailed lunker city about the exact same thing except I got no reply.

I have a few bunches of older Ledgerunners and they are very soft and move great in the water.
For the Canal, I can see how those guys prob. need a tougher bait to hold up on the bottom.
For the dying fish presentation, you really need a more supple rubber.
This upcoming season will be my first to see what can really be done using the sluggo's. Should be interesting

Heh, I've never even been able to get them in bulk, direct or otherwise. Very interesting...

A shop on the cape was selling them in bulk . seems someone on the pro staff was taking them and selling them to the shop with out lunker city's, OK .
They are now no longer available even to the pro staff.

Ah, that explains it. I've asked more then a few times if I could purchase in bulk but the answer was always no.

Maybe somebody will be able to come up with a viable alternative that is less expensive - but its tough to get around the branding element. Sluggos have become almost like Xerox - the consumer equates the product with the function - that's just huge.
Wally World and Bass Pro - they'll get some deals.
