They are more effective slow trolled and bumped rather than the typical 4 knot troll. Bluefish do huge damage to them also which is a downside.

Some consensus amongst the charter captains I talk to is that the sluggo bars are useless.

The only action you get is on the trailing sluggo. The middle sluggos do nothing.

I fished with the maker of one of the most popular variants of the sluggo last year and he only fishes singles. He slow trolls them at like 1 knot. We had 3 hookups on pink. It helps to have really high outriggers too, so it dances on the surface.
