Hunters, you wanna try and keep the sluggo as strait as possible..the more you do the easier it will become.
I use a long piece of thru wire with a loop and a sharpened end. You just gotta feel ure way thru, if it starts to go off to the side, back the needle up and try again.

my next 6 went alot better. I didn't add the zap a gap until i buried the shaft of the top hook into the slugo.
I am using a wire hanger with a filed point on one end.. seems to work ok.

Lay the Flat side on the table, Look down as if a birds eye view and just slide it straight.....and its not a race, take your time and it will go straight

I use the top of old CB antennas for needles. They are useally made of stainless steel and are a lot stiffer than old coat hangers!! Beat one end flat and drill a pin hole in it, the other end sharpen to a looooong point, the longer the better. I even polished the point and flat end with a buffing wheel. Makes it slide thru very very easy!!!!
