Phantom Hex

Anyone ever try these?  I purchased one but haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

@Ronix 51 has a few...Mike:  Thoughts?

What is that behind the front hook hanger? Does it allow for weight adjustment?

[BlueEye]

Screw-in weight that allows you to adjust as desired.  Lure is pretty heavy without any screw-in weight.

It looks like a twitching bait with that horizontal attachment ring. Or is it also for cranking or trolling?

[BlueEye]

Heavy deeper running twitch bait is my guess; but I haven't thrown it yet so not entirely sure.   I'm sure it can be trolled but that is not my intent with this bait.

Judging by the bill I’d say it’s going to be a tight wobble shallow runner. With the adjustable weight I’d think you could make it suspend or a sinking bait?

Hex or Xorsist? Looks like the xorsist which is their new "dive and glide" bait. Essentially it is a 10" phantom that dives on the retrieve. I really like it a lot especially with the screw in weights. I put the 1 oz on mine and can work it 10-12' down

I believe it is the hex.  Have you tried it with no weight at all in it?  How deep does it run at it's lightest?

 

Thank you sir -

The one you posted is the xorsist judging from the looks of the lip. The hex is a wandering crank bait built off of the 10" and 12" phantom bodies - I like them too!

 

It works well without the weights too, just higher in the water column

Yup.  Hex has a partial hexagon lip while the xorsist is circular.  Here are some videos showing the action of the baits:

Yup mine is Xorsist then. Thanks for clarification.
