You guys are right, they are very pricey. Sluggo isn't making them for you though - the people that know how to rig them right, and who will take the time to rig them exactly the way you want them rigged.
They are making them for the 75% of the population who don't know how to rig them, don't want to know how, and don't want to be bothered. These folks, how do I say this without offending anyone(?), are not fishing finatics, but fish on vacation, a day here and a day there. They read the magazines and are intrigued by some of the techniques - large rigged sluggo's - but aren't "into it" that much to really work on it and learn how to do it. The easy way out is to buy a rigged one, hence sluggo is making them. (Case in point - all the Berkley, Tsunami, Calcutta, Storm, etc rubber with the hooks in them).
That being said, the cost for them is high, so the retail is high - I bought some for the shop, but not alot, I think they should've rigged up some of the smaller sluggo's first - less expensive.

So are you saying that because I use a prerigged shad body that I'm not "into it?" That's  I use these and sluggos that I rigged and consider myself "into it!" |
