As Ive written about previously in The Fisherman , one of the great things about Slug-Gos is that they can be used in heavy, weeded cover, and you can drag them right across the tops of lily pads

Additionally, insulation can help reduce water evaporation, keeping the bait lively for longer periods

Prompt delivery

The action is built right in and the bait will swim exactly like a fish in a rhythmic S pattern

unless you are specifically targeting big carp or stripers, or pulling lake-dwelling bass from heavy cover, a 2- to 4-wt should be able to handle everything and will be a lot more fun and less tiring over a day-long session
