sluggo 12"

[chefchris401]

I prefer the 12" hogie over the sluggo.

I think the 9" is more productive cause it fishes easier and has more action.

The big hogie 14" or 18" has crazy action too.

i haven't given up on 12 incher yet because i'm trying to have a bigger presentation this year in hopes that i increase my chances on bigger fish. we see. maybe i should just have a freezer full of riggies. my problem is finding a place local that actually has big ones.

Really great for tuna, good for bass, but the price of them makes it hurt when a bluefish chomps one. Factory rigging is really strong (200# tuna strong) and all but the best home rigged ones tend not to track as nicely in the water.

I tend to think of it as a glide bait or almost a walk the dog bait rather then something with a lot of wiggle. Hogy is what you need if that's what you're looking for.

At the end of the day I usually have one on me but the price of an eel results in me fishing that far more often when fishing from the surf at night.

The white one during the day though is a different story, I always have plenty on me especially when fishing shallow water from the boat for stripers.

....I hear you! It's like each year the eels get thinner and smaller while the price goes up. (At least at the shops I frequent.)
