Lunker City Slug-Go Lure: amzn.to/34uq6lv More details about the bait and gear are in the description.
I was so happy to come across them today. Haven't seen them in 20yrs. Almost forgot about them
This lure has been my go to for 25 years. Baitcasting with the light lure takes some practice. But, the sucker needs a powerful hook set. Only the baicaster has that powerful hookset necessary to get that fish successfully. This was awesome, thanks.
Very interesting and informative. In the northeast surf, I fish the 9” and 12” sluggo for striped bass. I use a 1 to 5 oz rated spinning rod with 50 lb braid and and a van staal reel. No issues, have caught bass up to 25 lbs on the sluggo. Great lure.
I just pulled one of these suckers out of my dad's old tackle box, i guess I'll try it out
Very good tips! Thanks! Slug-go.. My favorite plastic for deeper Carolina rig here at The Rock. Also use slug-go with Owner center spring screwed into nose of bait then insert a small circle hook into front loop of spring. Very light rig this way, will hardly sink. Throw as darting top water or runs slightly under the surface depending on size/weight of circle hook. Almost needless when used this way. Use a donut shape bait keeper on the circle hook to keep hook from coming out of the spring loop. Spinning reel best for this method. 6# Nano-fil braid w 2' of 6# mono leader casts a mile for clear water. Word!
I totally remember when Slug-go's were released. It was a GAME-CHANGER!
U are old
@@blakeg4166 😅HA HA, indeed I am!
Herb Reed fished tournaments around the north east in the 80’s and when I started fishing that bait he was poring them by hand! In 1991 we both qualified for the Federation National Championship. Herb finished 2nd, I won and qualified for the 1991 BASS Masters Classic with a Slug-go!
Great video...I've been bass fishing in S. FL since 1968 and have been using both the 4" & 6" for about 30 years. Still use to this day while fishing tournaments or fun fishing.
Always have one tied on at tournament time.
Great first thing in the morning because they're so versatile.
Thanks for sharing...🎣
You got that right! Thanks for watching, John Butler!
Great Tips & Information.
THANK YOU Glen.
Glad it was helpful!
I still have some Slug go’s that are about 25+ years old, caught many bass on these when I was a teenager and it was probably my most successful bait back then.
Thanks for watching AppendixCarryOG!
Another great one. I know its a year old, but i just bought some more 6" sluggo for a saltwater expedition i have planned. And i knew you would have a couple secrets.lol thanks Glen appreciate the vid
Remember using those in early nineties. Very cool
I have been using the Lunker City slug go for over 30 years with out a doubt the BEST jerk bait ever.
Yes, absolutely @gjordan8800! Thanks for watching!
I have used the Slug-go for decades, I put a nail weight up front inside the lure, using a 4/0 hook which comes in right before the 2 groves, then I put a glass rattle as close to the tail end as i can get it. It's my go to weed bait, also I like the #61 blue perch color.
That’s a good tip as well, Sycamore Outdoors. Thanks for sharing.
Great info on that bait thanks for sharing
No problem 👍
That is one of my all-time favorite lures!
Still a great lure. I had some 20 year old Slug-Go's I had never opened and they were working great catching bass and pickerel in New Hampshire last week. Slug-Go is a great lure for teaching how to be subtle and focused while fishing. Great video, thanks for making this and thanks for the rigging tips. It's nice to see a video that is not just run of the mill.
Awesome. Thanks for the feedback B Z!
Once again great video Mr. May
Glad you enjoyed it!
thanks for the great tips on a classic bait
Thanks for watching victor simonsen!
Ordered some today
Man that was an interesting video 😂 I remember 🎣 these in the 90 In fisherman had a great video on these and I was fishing them every way they shown even waky style I still have some even the hooks I was using. Will try them on my next houthing thanks for the reminder
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.
Great video, very informative
Glad you enjoyed it
Great info! Now I know how to properly fish it, thanks!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.
Love the play by play by the Wife! lol.
I know, right? Here I am trying to concentrate and she's imitating ESPN. LOL!
In addition to live bait, spoons and spinners, I owe a debt of gratitude to the Slug-go and Flying Lure for getting me into fishing as a kid. Both had their specific applications, but with the weedless capabilities of the slug-go, there were very few lures that could compete at the time for covering heavily weeded water.
You got that right! Thanks for watching, Proteus Xavier!
thanks for nice video !
Glad you liked it!
🔥
I was looking at them the other day,I need to try them👍👍
You should!
@@bassresource what size hook would you recommend for the big one that's like maybe 8 or 9 inch?
Great for stripe bass here in New England .
i am a huge fan of the baitcaster, and i use it every time i can. However, i have never heard of a bail opening up on a spinning reel while fighting a fish. did you make that up?
unless the bail is poorly designed or broken, it cant happen.
He didn't say the bail could pop open. He said that you possibly could pop it open while fighting the fish. If you put pressure on the bail by hand accidentally it
could overcome the pressure the line has against it and come open. I've done that before.
GOOD
Hey Mr may you certainly are the grandfather of fishing videos I'm not calling you old Mr may thanks for that slugo video awesome bro hey Glenn I remember when you were the only major bass fishing channel to watch that was and still is a very educational channel. GOD bless you and your family your pal fisherman Mike.
Thanks for the support, MICHAEL LOUCKS, and thanks for watching!
These are great lures. I cut the front tip at a 45 degree angle and can get it to glide side to side.
That’s a good tip as well, Russell L.. Thanks for sharing.
Best bass lure ever!
Thanks for watching Crohkor Threetoes!
I started fishing the Slug-go around '91-'93. What a killer bait. You can fish it slow on a dead fall on slack line, a medium twitch-twitch-twitch pause and let is sink a little. Or a fast walking the dog action over the top of grass beds. And any other type of retrieve that you can think of... The design has that injured bait fish action. The 2 issues with the Slug-go is the line twist you from fishing it all day, and they are not real durable. But with 1 simple trick/hack or whatever you call it is... Fish it on Screw-Lock hooks, and both of these issues go away. Either weighted or non weighted versions. Not many fish them weighted, but I used to use small trim nails to add weight to increase sink rate and not effect the action. Now I just use a weighted Screw-Lock hook. This is a great way to fish it over any type deep water drop-offs like creek channel, rock shelfs, docks especially in the summer time ... Also using a Screw-Lock hook on a Slug-go is the added usability / durability of the Slug-go. I've fished all day catching 10-15 or more fish and never have to change the bait. With a regular hook it's basically a one fish and done bait. Get expensive real quickly. Still the best soft jerk-bait made . Ark Shiner , Rainbow Trout, and Other I can't remember the name of color but close the the Ark Shiner..
Nice! We love to hear feedback like this. Thanks for being a loyal viewer!
I caught my PB 7lbs on a Slug-go at Mark Twain lake.
always wonder how to use them. thank you
Happy to help!
You didn’t mention the belly weighted hooks... I caught fish that way.. is that not a good option for fishing the slug go type baits ??? ... anyone have any suggestions on using this presentation?
You're right, I didn't mention any weight at all, except for small nail weights. The extremely slow fall rate is a primary benefit of this bait, so adding weight to it kinda defeats the purpose. That said, you can try a light belly weight hook to see if you can get a more gliding action to it. Might have to try that one out myself!
Great video. What size do you recommend for 5lb largemouths?
The 6" bait is a good producer.
You can also use a toothpick to peg the eye of the hook as well then snip off the ends.
many of your tricks that I imitate but I can't copy your fishing gear 😅 You are very good at giving knowledge to me. awaited your feedback
The gear used in this video are detailed in the description underneath it.
@@bassresource no sir, that's not it. I mean your equipment is good. thank you for always sharing your knowledge
Been looking for these baits for years. Thought they were not being made anymore
All the best silver play buttan ke liye
Still watching the video but have to comment: I still have a few of these from way back ( black with silver flake). Always wondered the right way to fish it so love seeing this video! Out of curiosity, are they still available anywhere?
Yes, absolutely Mike Archer! I found them on Amazon: amzn.to/34uq6lv Thanks for watching!

order straight from lunckercity
@@michaelochoa5531 That's how I order them. I'm going on 30 years using these.
Where can you purchase these baits

Sluggo lure vs lunker logs
Glenn's got a big ol butt ohh yeah...(reminisce music of days gone by) Good tips for finesse Slug-o.
My girl got a big old booty, yeah
Your girl got little booty, oh no
LOL
I think the reason anglers lost interest in this bait is the fluke simply replaced it. This bait doesn't even compare to the action of a fluke and they last much longer.
I catch a lot more fish on a Slug-go when everyone else is throwing flukes. So keep throwing those flukes. 😀
@@bassresource OK, thanks for the quick reply and I'm gonna try them! I just can't resist, I probably have around 200 packages of soft plastics now. I have a problem. lol
Put a nail in the tail.....
Can't watch it for the woman yapping off camera right from the first second. Wanted to learn, not listen to whhoohoo from the cheap seat .
