Nice idea... But unless you got the $$$$ to defend it, A patent ain't worth a crap. Just yet another example of how the little guy takes it up the stinker.

What the market is clammering for is an equal quality product to the Sluggo but cheaper and available in bulk. All other considerations should be a distant second priority for any potential competitor to Lunker City.

About 1/2 the people who fish soft plastics forgo double rigging them and those who do tandem rig them become proficient at passing the needle through the body of the bait in a very short time. The channel is a good idea - but its not saving a real lot of time for someone who is good at rigging.

Yea, but when you're marketing there's nothing like a little innovation to get people's attention. I see both SA and SH coming up with some great new ideas...if they can set the hook I'm not sure price will matter to some.

Joe... this bait is 14" long and with the narrow spots between segments, rigging can be tough... with this channel... it's really a snap. Oh and your samples will be going out shortly

Spence... thanks for the boost

Looks like a great idea to me. I don't have much of a problem rigging sluggos but trying to rig a 13" ledgerunner is very difficult because the rubber is so dense.
