12 inch sluggos

[mikrok]

how are you guys working got strypers and hogys? similar to a pencil and switching to sidearm halfway through like steve in the youtube video? im guessing a few different responses but that action on the hogys on the website looks great, pete. I like the 9" sluggo but i should try something else too

its cheaper to rig eels than rig 12" sluggos

pretty sure the former has produced and will continue to produce alot more cows too

With my rodtip off to the side, pointed almost down at the water. I've had the most success working them with short quick jerks of the rod tip, using the reel only for picking up slack. The design seems to shine with that type of retrieve, sometimes giving nice pops and splashes off the surface.

I don't typically swim them, but I haven't used them enough to really form a solid opinion... as many will say, work it however the fish want them that day.

You're probably pretty close. I'm glad I got the one with only 3 tubes in it. I told you I hadn't changed it over from my last canal trip.

those hooks remind me of the freshy eagle claw light wire hook

sluggos are meant to be stopped and with the right hook

they appear to suspend and glide forward just right...

but that hook looks like it could be straightened out with ease.
