Was just wondering what size your prefer (regular or hang 10) and what type of leader do you use to keep the bait from hanging up.

I throw regular Manta's alot, especially this time of year. I use a solid wire Hellraiser Tackle Jerkbait leader and it rarely hangs up. If you use a sevenstrand go with a shorter leader and it should help.

I use the regular size and use a soft wire leader. The trick is to stop the lure befoe it totally reverses on itself, and it doesn't get hung up on the leader anymore. I pop it more than most anyway, making it go 'vertical' every three  twitches or so.

Hang 10, I waited 3 years for it and it was well worth it. I caught a 47 incher withing my first 5 minutes of use. I use a solid wire leader and try not to have it swing so wide anyways. I catch most my fish on them when I do a fast retrieve which means only a little side to side movement.

I think the regular manta works shallow enough...I just raise the rod tip slightly and mine goes just under the surface.
