Sluggo's

[Sluggoslinger]

From a boat, i'll drift the rips with them. I use a 1 oz jig head at the most and cast up the current then do a very slow retrieve just bouncing it off the bottom. I like white, pink and gray during the day. I use it when the sand eels are around. I also try to use the least possible weight to just get it to the bottom but make it look natural. Also get them back in the boat within 50-75' past the rip or you'll have a doggie and be re-rigging all day. I've had some good days with sluggos but nothing, NOTHING compares to some nice fresh bait rigged right.

Also i use either the 4" or the 6" but I'm trying to imitate sand eels not regular eels.

Tie direct as well. I never ever use snaps for anything ever.

They are my fall back when the sand eels are around. This year I might switch to Ron-z's but they are really expensive so I'll at least give em a try.

Sometimes sluggos is all that will work where I fish in the summer. I am also in a tin boat and fishing during the daylight hours. Sight fishing. My canal buddies use them on jigs and do real well. They have basicly given up on eelskins and use them and Ronz. Practice makes perfect.

Where I fish in June in my skiff, sluggos are the only thing we use. I probably catch 3 to 4 hundred fish a year on them between May and July. This is all light tackle fishing with 6 inch sluggos on a 5/0 Texposer hook in 3 feet or less of water.
