respectmyauthority86 Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassnfool Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiversEdge Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Also try a 1/8Th oz stand up jig head on the slug-go. It works great on the river I fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dutchman Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Reel Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stringjam Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 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.

smirkplug Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 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!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nova Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 I just finished a design that is between a fluke, a shad, and a slug-o. I'll have it on my site shortly. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braveviper Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 How did that bait turn out? Hows the action on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Turned out good. It can be fished sub-surface or it can be skipped on top to look like a fleeing baitfish. Going to post a pic in the gallery soon. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
