What luck has anyone had using this bait? Also what conditions do you use this bait the most?

Thanks

These baits are great, use them from 40 degrees in the spring to freeze up in the fall.

Great bait to work over weeds, over rocks, or down a break line.

Use a phantom all season long.

I just got my first one for xmas (the larger one in a walleye pattern). i love the action it has. cant wait to stick a pig with it in the spring.

Great glide baits that are easy to work, or if you want to put a little more effort into them, they can move and dance like mad!

i use them al year round. i kinda use them differently than most people. and hard to explain. kinda a jerk /jerk sweep . and a twitch and a pause.. it drives them wild. i also collect them i have more phantoms than one should have.. both 7 1/2 and 6 inchers and they work great all season long like mike said....bill

phantoms are my 'go-to' gliders- built like a tank, great finishes, and actions that are definitely musky approved. i use the large more than the small, but both are great baits.

ps- read the post "the one that haunts you" about big muskies that got away. notice what lure is mentioned there multiple times...

I would agree with the above comments, of all the commercial baits I have experimented with I liked the action of the Phantom the best...very stable bait.

i love this bait! it is one of my confidence lures and as someone stated above, very easy to use. i work mine slower than most people might, w/ long pauses. You should try one if you haven't already

Phantom's are awesome. I took 4th place in a tourney last spring out of 165 people on a phantom. Very versatile, and you can catch fish on them all year long!!

Phantoms Rock. The 61/2 inch is a awesome spring and summer to early fall then i switch to the big one!!!!

You can get the small one to do al kinds of erratic stuff plus you can get it to glide really sweet!! Great change-up bait

I have a couple and have moved fish on them.

No connections - Still a good bait.

I feel that for my style of fishing they fish to slow. They are good enough to see the water every trip, but I have yet to find their nitch. I have tried them as spot on spot baits, negative weather. Nada

I fish mostly shallow green lakes with tons of weeds.

My 2 cents

One of my top five baits. Perch and walleye colors, six and nine inch models have put fish in the boat. Great count down bait as well.
