What's the latest on the new deep plastic Phantoms? Haven't heard much about them, but I thought they were supposed to be out sometime this spring?

Has anyone tried any yet? Curious how well they work and how deep they run.

How do these compare to the older wood Deep phantoms? 2 years ago BigWoodMuskyLures.com ran an exclusive special on the down deep phantoms. They had a select few and I picked some up. How do the new ones compare to the deep wood ones that were being sold a couple years back?

I have one... I must be doing something wrong because it doesn't glide like the 20+ other phantoms I have. I will say that I haven't tried it much though as I got frustrated and switched back to a normal phantom. If anyone has any tips to working the deep phantoms that would be great!

Location: Indiana		I really like mine so far. I have had limited use though. It does get deeper as its name suggests. That is a corner of the market largely left untouched.

Location: Victoria,MN		I have played a bit with Deep Phantoms, I have worked them fast to get real erratic action and paused them , and also just worked them with light taps.

Personally I like working them fast and have had good results doing it BUT nothing in the net.

How deep do they run, generally speaking?

Which size are running, 6" or 7.5"? Regular or Softail?

Location: Hayward, WI		I would be intersted to know how deep these run too. Would you be able to move these along at a reasonable speed and work them down 8 feet deep, or about as deep as you would work a rubber bait?

Why the need for one when you have a hardhead?

Good catch there. No NEED for one, just thinking it might be something a little different. Suppose I could just add the weight inserts to the regular Phantom I have that I rarely use.
