I did very well with SurfHog rubber ripping it fast stevie style this spring.Multiple fish to mid teens.I was pretty much shocked as I am a slow an slower guy.I saw the video of steve working them things at the mass show just before I fell asleep.i could not belive it myself but it works.
Go someplace where u can watch what the lure does when u twitch it like that.It has the same crazy zig zag movements of a worm in hatch. I am sure thats why the bass eat em.Like the worms.Which have basically no nutritional value to a 20 lb bass. They would have to eat millions.It's the action that drives em crazy.

In some places where the water is a little rougher I have a hard time feeling the sluggo? Like it gets washed out in the close by heavy surf/whitewater. Should I add a rubber core sinker, or some kind of extra weight or should I switch to heavy plugs, kastmasters...ect...?

Has anyone had any luck in the breachways w/ sluggos? leadheads?

If u rig like they say on Joe's sluggo page with the three nail weights it weigh's over 1.5 onces.Rubber on a jig head is a great lure.it's how I catch 70 percent of my fish.I like My Buddies Nebe's surhog eels the bass seen to really key in on the profile.

The sluggos are rigged w/ three weights and they still seem to get lost in the rolling whitewater.

One more question.... may sound a little dumb too seeing as the big bass usually hunt @ night but has anyone had any success using black 9" sluggos during the middle of the day or sunset?

There's always a chance but I'd recommend using either white or bubblegum during the day. I've also found that the 7.5" ones produce better during the day when they tend to be more picky and can get a better look at it. I think that corresponds to what I've seen Steve and Capt. White write aswell and they both know a hell of a lot more than me.

You don't want to overweight the sluggo - kills the action.
A 9" Sluggo with insert weights (3 of the 3/32nd size) weighs 1.4oz -heavy enough for most conditions.
Try timing your casts to present to the last wave of a set, or time your casts to present to the backside of an incoming breaker.
Wave sets are often in fives or sevens, if you cast into a breaking wave or in the middle of set with any light lure you are going to get pushed around.
Presenting to the last wave of a set is a very high percentage cast.
