I really am pleased with this bait. It swims really nicely out of its package and is a great deadstick bait. It has the a nice action, close to a BBZ 1, but has closer joints which is really nice for clear water.
It is only available in a floating model with a diving lip. Mine only dives down to 2 feet if I seriously crank it. It's strengths are dead sticking it and waking. The Silent Killer is 7 inches long, a little over 2 ounces, and retails for $65. Not bad for what you get.
Whats really cool, is the thin coat of soft plastic it has. I like it because it feels better then hard plastic and it can hold scent. Smear some Smelly Jelly on it and it sticks!
The only thing that sucked on this bait, was the color patterns. The picture shows you exactly what you get in the bait. The colors aren't too real...
I have the albino trout and its probably the ONLY albino trout mimic out there, which is nice for me considering my lake is stocked with them. Overall, 5/5 in my books. |

Silent Killer
I was excited to get my hands on this bait about 3 1/2 years ago. I liked the color that I picked up since my local water had stocked lightning trout. Unfortunately the soft body creates issues. The hooks stick to the soft body and make the bait not swim correctly.
The swim is good as long as the bait lands perfectly when you cast. It is pretty light and likes to twirl in the wind. This creates the hook sticking to the body problem though. The hooks appear to be Owners and are really sharp. They look more like saltwater hooks than freshwater style to me.
I have caugth a couple of small fish to date but I don't use it too much anymore. It just sits and collects dust on my tackle rack now.
Overall I was not really impressed with this bait. The money I paid for it at the time really made it suck in my book. I'll stick with the 3:16 Wake Jr. |
