IMHO, 9" sluggos may be the best artificial you can use. Bass and bluefish love them. If you are just starting out, keep it simple.
Buy 3 packs of Black (night) and 3 packs of white (AMs).

You can rig them several ways. My favorites are the following

1. rig them with an 8/O Mustad, through the nose and out the bottom. I wrap thread on the shaft of the hook and add a drop of superglue so the hook adheres to the rubber (PM me for details if you need to), or

2.. the method we know that Steve McKenna uses. (2 hook rigging)

I fish each style a little different from slight sweeps of the rod tip (style 1) to faster constant snaps (style 2).

Oh, and by the way, save your money on buying all those fancy plugs. You'll outproduce them most of the time with sluggos.

Use your favorite scent and have fun.

Good Luck

Frank
