Phantoms 6" or 7.5"

[ryanmitchell]

Buying a few from Aaron at Musky Tackle online. Soft tail version. Small or large one? Any favorite colors??

I want to buy spare tails and experiment a little. I don't really want to buy 4 sets of each sized tail.

I have a 7.5" orange bellied perch. Thinking about getting a Shad and a Black. Also debating regular walleye. Thiniing about sticking with all big ones.

I have a 6" softail walleye that's killer. I haven't tried the bigger one though. I only own that one phantom right now but that will be changing.

Just like Bob I only have the 6" version in the orange crush color. Absolutely love it! I've been thinking of adding a 7.5 this year and give it a try. Sure it won't disappoint. If you have a 7.5 then try out the smaller version. Trust me big fish like it to.

I am going to get a black and shad 6 inchers and a clown colored 7.5 to go with the 7.5 orange bellied perch I currently own.

I would like to have a sucker and walleye colored one as well. Will try both sizes out before choosing additional.

Any more comments are welcomed.

i mean this is just my opinion but i don't think you need 5 different colors of the same lure... better of spending that money elsewhere

then again they are great baits

Kinda agree with goblue, if i even have 2 of the same baits one will be dark and the other bright, or like one natural and the other orange/pink or some ungodly color combination. I think its way to easy to get overwhelmed so I try to keep stuff as simple as possible

gold sucker

black

hot crappie

canadian crush *orange firetiger*

whitefish

2010 show color perch

when i first bought it i hated because i dont know how to work it but after tried it again finally figured it out and loved it way easy to work in different way, fast slow med, belly roll, etc etc. i sorta of agree with colors but sometime out of ordinary color will work on pressured lake like whitefish or shad color on a lake that had seen firetiger or black all the time. again i love those gliders so its personal perference. its like sayin you dont need 20 or more bulldawgs in different color but you just had to have them. just because they are pretty or/and they catch fish.

I thought my DC10 collection was weak so I bought 5 new ones this winter to cover the colors I thought I was missing. I now have 9 big ones. 2 chart, 2 nickel, 2 gold/bronze, 2 orange, a green and a pink.

I also bought 6 new spinnerbaits - 3 JAWS and 3 Rad Dogs. I thought my original spinnerbait collection was weak.

I just want to have a couple natural color in the smalls, and a couple loud ones in the big size. My brother will throw the topwater and bucks, and I really enjoy throwing the jerkbaits. My thinking also is that I want a black belly,orange belly, and white belly with my jerkbaits for different conditions. I have the same thing with my helhounds. Chart, orange and white bellied ones.

It is a disease, and I am infected. Sad but true. My brother thinks I should be quarantined!
