Just wondering if anyone has had the opportunity to try one of the Sinister Jerkbaits. I bought one by accident the other day thinking it was a Phantom Softail. After finding out what it really is I am kind of excited to give this new to me bait a try and see how it runs. If anyone has used one and could tell me how they run and look in the water that would be great. Also is this a new bait on the market or have they been out for a while now?

Been out for a few years as far as i know.
Todd Cleveland, original maker of the Phantom & Viper started Sinister after he sold Phantom.
Never seen one run myself.

Not too different from a phantom, in my opinion. I have the 6" Natural and have caught plenty of pike, but not a musky, yet. I'd say it doesn't have the "swing" a 6" phantom has, but it still glides nicely side to side. The drop is similar to a phantom, too. I say use it anywhere you'd use a phantom. Plus, if it fooled you, think about what it'll do to those muskies that can't resist a phantom! Good luck.
