On the Slug

Here's a hefty schoolie that was taken on the Slug recently.

The other unusual thing is that I am getting good numbers of my stripers on top using Slug-gos.  This is far outfishing traditional topwater plugs such as poppers and Jumpin Minnows. I love using Slug-gos because you are dealing with a single hook that is great for catch-and-release and good for the fish since it does little damage.

My Slug-go of choice has been an all white 7 1/2 inch model.  I've been using a 6/0 wide gap worm hook up front.  Sometimes I go with a swimbait hook.  I like to cast this out and twitch the rod tip on a slow retrieve of the reel making the lure dance back and forth. The Slug-go moves alluringly on the surface or just below.  Every so often I stop reeling.  Most of the hits come on the stop. 

Here's a small slot that was landed on a Slug-go today. This has been my best surface lure in the last week.

My Slug-go of choice is a 7 1/2 inch white  model.  This one is rigged with a wide gap worm hook (size 6/0)
