I don't have either, yet, but I was wondering what's the difference between the two? Is the action any different? If you have both, which do you like best and why?

Thanks for the input.

Get them both,,phantoms are jerk/glide/chop baits,,the maker likes to refer to the action has a chop style with lots of belly flash and a glide at an angle,,vipers are great walk the dalk surface baits that ride in the surface film instead of on top of it the result is it pushes a nice wake also it has a screw in insert that you can buy screw in weights for and use has a nice glide bait under the water,,all you really need for a weight is the 3/4 oz size that seems to make it work nice,,best with slow light taps has a jerkbait but can be worked fast has a surface bait

I've been using the Vipers lately and having a lot of action on them!! Very easy to use with minimal effort!

Happy hooker said alot of it. Just to add to the phantom it has a nice roll if I remember right and turns at a very small angle. Light taps work this lure fine and give it a pause once in a while. Keeps them interested if not strike. Haven't got a strike off it but have increased there following distance after they looked like they were uninterested.
