12-inch Slug-Gos are one of my favorite artificials, especially in the eel brown color. I prefer to rig them McKenna-style with a 9/0 Gamakatsu Octpopus in front and an 8/0 in the back, connected by 50# Dacron. The pre-rigged 12" Slug-Gos do not have enough hook gap in my opinion.

Surf Caster, no RS hooks on hand but I'm a firm believer in the 9" sluggo hooks, although the head part of the sluggos will last slightly longer rigged with RS hooks due to the pig tail as noted above. The body will rip no matter what hook you use. I can't remember ever missing setting up on a fish. Just make sure they're SHARP. I'll be picking up some RS hooks soon and will post a pic or two then or Mike may be able to post.
