Description
The RX Slug is a handcrafted soft plastic swimbait that does a lot with a little. No gimmicks, no kick — just a clean shimmy on the fall and that side-to-side slash that SoCal spotted bay bass, calicos, and sand bass can’t ignore. When fish are pressured or holding tight to structure, this is the one I reach for. These are the same handcrafted slugs — just a colorway you won’t find anywhere else.
The Chovie Death drop started at a fuel dock after seven hours fishing Spotty Bowl. I cracked open a Dr. Death, took a sip, and thought that’s a color. Three colorways, all gold body bait fish variations. Dr. Chovie is your black back with gold — classic bait fish profile. Bluechovie Buzzsaw brings in the blue and gold and kicks a Dorado hue depending on the light. Chovie Reaper is purple and gold. If you know you know. These colorways are inspired by Liquid Death, not affiliated with them.
Available in 4″, 6″, and 8″.
4″ — go-to for MDR spotties
6″ — when I want a bigger profile or I’m slow-rolling deeper structure
8″ — pure presence when I want something that moves water and gets noticed
How to fish it: drop shot on a 2/0 EWG hook for finesse around pylons and dock structure. Weightless or nose-rigged on a 3/0 for a slow fall. RX Roll Head for a standard swim retrieve with added action on the pause. Press an RX Belly Weight into the underside and slow-roll it along the wall just above the rocks for a different look when fish are less aggressive. I run Blacktail Fishing hooks across all setups. It’s also the one I cut up when I want a split-tail Ned rig presentation on the RX Firecracker Ned.

Limited run. Made in Los Angeles. When they’re gone they’re gone.
