What is the sink rate on the 6" phantom soft tails? Have any of you guys used the screw in weights?

Maybe 1' per second or thereabouts.
Tried it in the past on some old ones and it deadened the action but could be worth a try near the nose. Haven't tried any of the new ones with the weight receivers in them. Other baits could fit the bill too if deeper is wot yer after.

So they are considered a slow sinking? Couldn’t recall them specifically saying when I was looking at them online.

They talk about the sink rate in the description at the link below:

There's also a video if you scroll down further.

In my experience the 6" phantoms sink much slower than the 7.5" which sinks slower than the 10".

They sink slow in my opinion, i use them as they are or use the heaviest one i could buy, i have not noticed a change in action myself

I believe they will also be coming out with the 6 and 7.5" versions of the xorcist, those will most likely have a screw in weight as well.
