I bought a bag of slug-go's a few years back just because but never got around to using them. Until one day of fishing without getting any bites on anything desperatly I threw that odd looking bait out there. And I started catching 3-5 lbs bass every 2 or 3 casts I am a believer now and I am going to make a big order to Lunker City I was just wondering If anyone had any imput about which colors and sizes are used to catch the big ones. Thanks Sorry so long. :grin:
Why don't you get some supplies and pour your own. That way you can control the colors and the softness/hardness of each bait.
Come on; join the rest of us addicts. lol :P
I normally throw a pearl white "Super Fluke" size bait (5 1/2"). Usually the slower you work it the better. Spinning rod, 8lb. test. Anyone can buy baits, roll your own.
I did think about it long and hard I just to have the time between school and work and all my other hobbies.I just to have the time to get addicted to something else. But is anyone knows anybody who pours good 2 pour slug-go baits let me know. Thanks for all the input you guys are great.
I think a lot depends on the baitfish in the water you fish. Around upstate NY the prominent baitfish are sunnies and perch. In some of the great lakes they have the gobies. We do not have the shad in the lakes I fish, therefore I go with the perch (firetiger) of bluegill colors. If you have shad then a dark back with a white or silver body would be good. Like the fly fishermen, match the hatch. Good Luck! BTW, I love fishing a sluggo. They have than erratic movement you can't get with any other bait. You can fish them on top or bottom or in-between. Experiment putting a finishing nail (small) in different places in the sluggo to get different movements. Hope this helps you.
In South Dakota the 5" works well, black top with the clear belly and silver or gold fleck has always been the ticket here. I also tryed the 3" in the same colors drop shotting for small mouth and large mouth, that was a real killer.
All sizes work (I dig the 5" most) and so do most of the the natural and unnatural colors (one of the best days I ever had on a Slug-Go I was using bubblegum - and our highland lakes are very clear).
If I could only use one for the sake of versatility, it would be some sort of pearl, but if you're catching 3 to 5 lb. bass than by all means buy some more of what you're using......it sounds like you're already on the right track.
I Fish Em On A Dart Leadhead In The Ocean, I Bounce The Bottom And Found All Colors Work, The Brighter The Better, But I Also Fish Stripers In Freshwater And Found They Are Suckers For White And I Also Catch Alot Of Largemouth Incidentally Between Stripers. I Also Use A Piece Of Thin Foam Or Leather In Red Around The Collar For Gills!!!!
