I just got a 6in perch phantom today and heard that they are very good baits. How do you work these baits.
Thanks Jake

Hi I seem to work them a little differnt than some peaple that I know.I like to give them short soft taps and very long pauses.This way the lure will flutter up and down and side to side.I'v seen some work it faster so that it comes thru the water like a underwater jackpot.I'v seen both retrieves work this year already so let the fish till you what they want.To some it up this bait is great just get out and throw it !!

This is a glider that you can work faster than most. Give it hard taps fairly quickly, you can get it side to side with some good belly roll. It does not have a wide glide path, not a bad thing since it can be worked quickly.
