KYbassman67 Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 I just purchased the new "limited edition" Flex Phantom from Strike Pro, for a pricy $14 I hope to see some results. I have heard some good things, and the action looks top-notch, but does anyone have any personal experience they can relay? I fish mainly small ponds and lakes here in KY... Quote
Super User Bassin_Fin@tic Posted October 26, 2008 Super User Posted October 26, 2008 Sweet looking bait, but I have not caught much of anything on it.I haven't used it a whole buch though yet,so possibly wrong places wrong times. Quote

Super User T-rig Posted October 27, 2008 Super User Posted October 27, 2008 I tried the small version and this thing just would not run straight even after tuning. Here's a review: http://www.tackletour.com/reviewspflexphantom.html Quote
Captain Rhino Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 It is a pretty good looking bait that I thought about buying, but a few guys talked me into going with the Sebile Magic Swimmer. I don't use swimbaits too much, but there's nothing better than trying it out for yourself. The Tackletour review gave it a 7.0 out of 10.0. I'd say that's a decent score. Don't give up on it until you try it out. Quote
KYbassman67 Posted October 27, 2008 Author Posted October 27, 2008 Thanks for the review T-Rig! It seems the biggest problem encountered was the fishes ability to strike at the tail of the lure without the angler being able to set the hook. I still have yet to try the thing out with temps. in the 40's :-/ but we'll see if I have any luck! Quote
