how do you guys like these? do you work them hard or just soft taps?
do they work better with wire or floro leaders?
i know they were on the guides favorites in musky hunter mag and wondered what you thought..karol

It is a good lure, but I found mine to be more temperamental than I liked. What I mean is if you didn’t pay attention to what you were doing it would quite working right, and didn’t work as well in chop. I ended up liking the small doc better, but once I found the Lee Lures Fish Stick HD that is all I throw now. Very easy to work, and it being larger than the phat boy and the small doc doesn’t seem to hinder it’s effectiveness early in the year.

These work best with a little more weight and a steel leader,....... I like em...Short twitches gives it good action . I also throw a Weagle a bunch, but it has a lot different action than the Phat boy.

hard for me not to throw phat boys for hours when i start using them. I rank it up there with the jackpot on how i use my rod for the action. Great on a fish that follows weagle or homewreaker but doesn't strike/good throw back bait.
