| Yes, I have used a couple of the Phantom Viper Topwaters. I throw the 8" 4oz Viper and I've found it to "stay down" in the water, displacing the water a little bit differently than the other lighter "walk-the-dog" top-waters. The viper also seems to roll a little giving it a different action. Although, I've yet to catch a musky on a Viper it's a unique top-water lure that I always have in my box because one of these days it's going to get smashed. Good Luck and pick one up!  | |||

| Yeah, not quite sure if it displaces more water but it has a unique "cadence" in the water that, IMO puts it in a class by itself from the other topwaters I have thrown. I suppose with a bit more time on the water with the lure you will definitely find some tricks with the Viper to make that mutha pop and bring the monsters smashing. Also, the lure works reel nice in a strong wind because of the weight of the lure. IMO, topwater is somewhat under used in certain circumstances and I will always have a topwater in the box. Try throwing a topwater over some neglected areas of a lake(i.e. open deep water) you'll be shocked at the Musky's that smash your lure so be ready. | |||
