Subject: weights for sluggo's and Fin-S baits


I started using these big 10" soft plastics last year and like them a lot, well enough to keep using them. I was able to get some good action with them on the surface down to a few feet or so. Are there weights that can be used to insert into these so they sink a little when there is a need for a little deeper presentation? I thought sluggo made weight inserts for the smaller bass size but can't find them, thx.

I used to use barbells but recently got my baits a Bow Flex![;)] [:sun:]

When wanting for deeper penetration with plastics… Try nails

Greg, try cutting up some nails and pushing them into the bait?

Just a thought,

thx Rob, going through this friday to ice fish in Vilas Cty, will have to stop in. The better half will be with me, she will get a kick out of the store watching the rods made through the glass.

How about the JB weights. You should be able to screw em right on. May not last past the first cast but what the hell, I'm always good for a smarta$$ answer.

When using nails one should consider the impact on the enviroment....might I suggest using "galvanized nails"...Hi...I'm Marlin Perkins + this episode is brought to you by Mutual of Omaha.....[;)] [:sun:]

You could use two short roofing nails in the sides of the head for eyes too. Mabe some brads and finishing nails for a precise weight control...

Greg,
Wont nails stiffen the bait and change the action.
How about trying diferent size split shots in front of the plastic, it wont take much weight to drop it down a little, this way the bait is untouched and still has "ALL" it's action!
Just a thought![8)]
Can't hurt to try!
