Steve How fast do you retrieve the rigged 9" sluggo. I saw one of your presentations and I think I remember you saying retrieve to retrieve fast while kinda jerking the rod around. Is this right or has my red head light turned my mind to mush?

Fish the sluggo like a zarra spook and moderate to fast, almost like a popper but not slow.Let it sink a second or two and then start the popping action.You want to keep the sluggo under water and it jerks all over the place.You will have good luck with it! It will outfish any other artificial sold in the store.

White light around the neck for me. Started using redlights because everyone else was but I couldn’t find one that lasted for more than a handful of outings with out braking (Tekka or however you spell it sucks). I had a small Princeton Tech light that I carried as a backup that always worked, even after two years of being submerged in my plug bag while wading so that eventually made it around my neck. Haven’t noticed any differences except better color vision when looking through the plug bag.
Steve, thanks for the article in OTW about the sluggos last year. Made me realize I was fishing them too slow and they’ve been my top producer ever since. Got a 36# bass on the first cast I made with a sluggo the night I read the article.

I have been using a red light for at least 5 years now and I cannot go back to a white light. I have much better depth perception with the red light versus a white led light and my eyes take a lot less time to adjust to the dark after turning it off.

I like both and that is why I was using a light that had three light settings, the light was not cheep and I lost it two nights ago when I thought the chord was around my neck Igot on my rock shut the light off opened my mouth and good by  everyone likes something different I agree the red helps w/ night vision,yet is hard to see colors.I'll spend a little more money for a good multi light.
