I may be waaaay out of the loop, or just unobservant, but I just noticed this in the latest Musky Hunter mag…
I guess I am more or less curious if you all think it would be any different than say a phantom soft tail (just an example of one thing I already have, I am sure there are more!), and if it would be able to be worked differently???
I do like the size options though.
Hellhounds do have a totally different action. Much more of a sharp, Z-pattern than a Phantom. I feel like I can get them to get a much wider side to side action than a Phantom. Hellhounds can be deadly if trolled in shallow water also. I love the idea of a softtail Hellhound, they're already my favorite glide bait as it is.
I just picked up a couple of these and I can't believe how close together the hooks are on them. The two eyes for the hooks are maybe 1inch apart, and when the hooks dangle they are practically touching. Looks like they are going to get tangled all the time on the cast. Way different hook positioning than the normal Hellhounds I have. Not sure I like that at all. I also wonder if they are all like this or its just a weird batch I got a a few of.
