  1. Good ole Lunker city baits. I have been using them for many years, 65 years old and still catching fish. Lunker City is right down the road from my house. When I lived in Florida the Sluggo would catch saltwater species fish also.

  2. I haven’t found it to be so weather dependent—maybe because I fish it no matter what, or maybe because I’m in the northeast. I do dead stick it when fishing is slow, and get some of my biggest fish that way every year. Try a black 3” for streams and 4” for rivers. Killer on smallmouths.

  3. Your story reminded me of one of my worse break offs. The displacement of water looked like i was snagged on tree trunk and was pulling it up. After i broke off i casted at that spot for the next hour. I even tied on a naked power ned hook to pull up the "tree" so i could tell myself it wasnt a fish…. Nothing… It haunts me and makes sick TO THIS DAY!

  4. So glad u posted this… I have so many of 5 differe t colors. I still use them. I remember them being popular and reading about them in bassmaster magazine in the late 90s. My friend and I threw them when we were 13 yrs old

  5. The real pig in jig was first, Slugo was second, spinner bait was 3rd , in a Rattle trap was 4th back in the day.. For March tactics no one threw jerk baits to often . When that slugo came out it was the IT !! Lure .. but I swear u loose a lot of fish on those . Maybe it's because back then we just had worm hooks. But I just remember loosing so many fish on them..

  6. I'm just starting to get into freshwater fishing. Fished saltwater for years now. Met an older gentleman named Lance, his been fishing since a child. Worked in the saltwater fishing industry his whole life too. Pinhead to captain of long range tuna boats. Anyways Lance put me on to slugos after watching him out fish us kids on a few trips. Have caught many saltwater bass on them since. They will catch anything it seems, we rig them on jig heads or weighted ewg hooks.Caught mahi mahi on them last year.
    I have a collection of assorted colors and sizes up to 9 inches. Never thought about throwing them for largemouth but I'll try. MC baits also make slugs and they work too.

  7. I remember when slogos came out. I was from South Carolina and I drove all the way to North Carolina and bought all they had at the only place I could find that sold them and I had 24 fish in one week over 6 lb on lake wateree South Carolina want a tournament made some money that was my first initiation in the fishing with a slugo. probably lost more fish than I caught just because I didn't know to use a 5/0 hook

  8. Manns here in Alabama used to make them back in the 90's. My friends dad used to work there and he would bring them home to bag up to make extra money. I was just a kid back then but still have a large variety of them, and they are still in good shape. I always thought the rounded side was the top, I'm going to have to try it your way and see how that works. Thanks for the video Randy.

  9. Fishing them on Eagle Lake in Ontario worked great for smallies, but were even better for pike. Unfortunately the pike would tear the shi+ out of them. Glad you mentioned the swivel. Very important!

  10. I have been fishing sluggio's 4:14 since I believe 1990. They still work today and have never stopped. I use them all year long especially when things get tough. I rigid the original way with a weight in it or a weighted hook and fish it from the bottom to top
