Matt,
I have made them by running a main line and then running a tag forward 6 " connected with a crimp to the sluggo. The tag folds backwards pulling the sluggo. I'm not a big fan of it and they dont present as well as squid bars do.

Ig you wanted to run the line through the middle a 12" rigging needle would do the trick.

IMHO alot of work no return on investment.

There are other "tricks " with sluggos/softplastics that really boost catch rates.

KR;
when you guys are trolling them, I kept hearing way-back and slow (~4kt).. right?

I'm still trying to figure a way to rig them w/ enough weight to keep them in the water (even in the shotgun) at 7+kts. I still think out in the deep it will be a good way to pick off fish on slow days...
