Joe - Just line the hook up so you can pull the eye about 1/4 to 1/2 inch into the head of the Sluggo, jam a toothpick up through the Sluggo and through the hook eye as far as it will go (the taper of the toothpick will jam it in good), and then clip the excess toothpick on the top & bottom.

One toothpick should last for a few bass, and then just carry a small bag of toothpicks to replace them when needed. Again, this way you can keep using the hooks over & over without having to throw out otherwise good (& expensive) hooks.

I've been using this method with pretty expensive Owner 7/0 and 11/0 heavy duty, oversized worm hooks for 5 or 6 years & it's worked fine...
