Well done! I think you will move some sluggos in 06. All the eel and herring users will be looking for the next best thing and that is probably the sluggo. The reason eel users made so many trips to the B&T shop is they wanted fresh bait and it is easier (and less risk) for the tackle shop to keep them then the fishermen. These guys will still need stuff to fish with. I also predict a black market for eels will be around.
I gave them a serious try this year. While I still think the live eel works better a little easier to fish with (esp from a boat) and is probably a little cheaper, the slugos are easy to rig and require no special treatment to keep alive. They indeed work. Clearly Steve M has perfected using it. I think the rear hook is used just as much for weighting the back end of the sluggo as it is for taking fish.
I just hope sluggos remain in good supply this season. Can you buy a bulk pack of 100 or so at a time with some discount?
