I must be honest, the first time I tried rigging them myself, I gave up quickly. The second time around I took more time and printed out the instructions. Whipped 3 rigged sluggo's out while watching the Sox game in 15 minutes.

Jim White & Steve demonstrated the sluggo rigging techniques a few years back at Quaker Lane.
Jim showed the single hook rigging. If I recall he used a Limerick-bend mustard. The bend was first straighten out with a pair of pliers, then shank was wrapped with dacron, then inserted in the sluggo with zap a gap. I don't recall where and if he used weights, probably only the tail. This method works for him but note that he fishes from boat.

Give it a try, it's not that hard. The first time I read those instructions I thought it was wayyy too complicated. I am by no means the kind of guy that is good at stuff like that, but it's actually quite easy.
With the two hook method, it doesn't have to be absoultely perfect either, as bassboy said, just glue up any tears. To make sure it's ok, after I finish rigging it I hold it vertically from the top and make sure there are no kinks and it hangs straight down.
by the way, there may be some guys on this site that dissagree that it is the best soft plastic!!!

I did the 2 hook method. I use dacron on my icefishing tilts so I had it on hand. Just go slowly through the process. After I got the first one, the second 2 went quickly. The middle hook is easy and I found that if you put the head hook in where you liked it and allowed the sluggo to lay straight, you can then remove it halfway and finish the half hitches.
I took a piece of thru wire that I use in plug building and made a point on the end on the belt sander. Made the smallest loop I could on the other end to tie the dacron through.....
Once you do one, the next ones are a breeze. I gave up the first time I tried it.
