Questions about Lunkerhunt Phantom Spider – Weedless Fishing Lure with Realistic Design, Weighs ¼ oz, 2” Length
Q:
Does anyone have any suggestions for a tackle storage box to hold these spider top water lures and the frogs? i have looked at plano, gruv, etc.
Answer: I keep mine in a plano box just fine, they fit at the bottom of one of the larger cases easily with the adjustable and removable barriers. I keep a green colored one and a natural one in the same space one on top of the other.
Answer: I use craft boxes I bought at michels
Q:
Do they float?
Answer: Yes, they do float. The Lunkerhunt Phantom Spider features a hollow body weedless design and walking legs that stride, glide, and twitch as the spider is worked across the water surface. Check out this video which shows the Lunkerhunt Phantom Spider in the water. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=L83jgdVlRW0&feature=emb_logo
Answer: Yes they do but every so often u have to squeeze the water out of them
Q:
Why dose it keeps asking me to refresh my payment?
Q:
Is the spider 2 inches total length, or is it just the body that is 2 inches?
Answer: The body is 2” long and 1” wide. The entire width and length including the legs is approximately 3”x3”.
Answer: Mine measures 2 1/2 total
Q:
How many come in the package?
Answer: One
Answer: One
Answer: 1
Answer: Just one
Answer: 1
Q:
Does any one of the colors seem to be more effective than the others?
Answer: what ever color that makes it seam to hide
Answer: So far I’ve had the most luck with the dock color.
Answer: White spider was super productive. Black spider didn't have much luck but I also didn't use it as much since I was getting consistent action on the white one.
Q:
Does this actually catch fish or is it just a gag gift?
Answer: It catches fish - but it gets waterlogged quickly and sinks. Also, it's kind of dainty, so a big fish will destroy it.
Answer: Yes it does work. The hard part is fighting out the best way to work. It works best when fished like a frog
Answer: No it works great if you can get around some over hanging trees. I just ordered 2 more
Answer: It does but as a bait it needs work. Kinda expensive for how cheaply it’s made. After a little while it starts to take on water and sink. And if you keep getting bites you will loose the legs. My advice if you get it get 2. I give it a 4 outta 10.
Answer: Yes it does, but it has design flaws, probably every third cast you will have to drain the water out of it, if you don't it will sink. The main body will sit in the water while the legs sit on top of the water. Great idea bad design.
Answer: It is for real. There are videos online I'm sure demonstrating it.
Q:
can this be used for fly fishing?
Answer: The Phantom Spider is designed to be used with conventional fishing gear, it is not designed for fly fishing.
Answer: Depending on your line and what you are fishing for. Might be too big and a little heavy
Answer: Too big
Product reviews of Lunkerhunt Phantom Spider – Weedless Fishing Lure with Realistic Design, Weighs ¼ oz, 2” Length
Bradley K. : Wouldn’t buy again
Didn’t float well, tough to make it look real on the water.
R P : Well made.
I was kinda scared because I thought the legs would be flimsy and come off. Still on it 500 casts later. And I caught my PB striper using it. I say it's a win
Noah Frank : Scary
I just bought it to scare people works great
Jay Nonya : Who doesn't love big fat bAss?
Bass will apparently blow up on it... so it works.
R Sam : Cattches more than I expected
Caught several bass and some big blue gills. Only thing that would make it better is making it a little more buoyant on the front hald. It catches fish
nathan hicks : No for the price
To light swim alright needs more weight in it to make it work able.
Stephen Baker : My new favorite
The coloration is exactly like the banana spiders that the fish here love to eat. In my first trip to the pond I caught 5 bass and missed about 6 more. This is my favorite new lure.
David : Works great
Oooh it works
Wisconsin native : Looks real
I have used it a few times and it seems like it will catch the fish, but I haven’t had any luck. The one downside is it seems to sink a little after a few casts. I have to squeeze it to get the water out then it will float.
Jamie : Awesome lure!
I have had nothing but great consistent catches on this lure! I was skeptical at first but it just works. My new favorite lure in the tackle box! Update: The lure does work but not very durable. If you get it, you may want to get a couple of them.
robert : Very realistic but won’t float
Looks realistic but definitely won’t float. First cast it started to sink. I got frustrated so I took it off and put it back in my tackle box. Very disappointed that it didn’t float.
Joshua McDaniel : Best lure I’ve got! And I have a bunch of damn lures.
Bass catching machine!!!!
Justin : Extreme disappointment!!!
Looks good but is a huge disappointment. Doesn't even begin to float. Not a top water lure at all. Would give 0 stars if an option.
Pamela Reid : LUNKER HUNT PHANTOM SPIDER
I got this lure delivered today , used tonight 4 casts in the body of the spider ripped back from the hook area . It no longer floats :( I was enjoying it . I hope I can get it replaced . PLEASE RESPOND TO MY REQUEST . I can send back if need be . Tuesday July 20th was delivered by Purolator Used it the same night and like I said 4 casts in the lure didnt float any longer
Shari H. : catches bass
my son catches the fish on this one it was mine but let him fish it down to nothing
Justin : Extreme disappointment!!!
Looks good but is a huge disappointment. Doesn't even begin to float. Not a top water lure at all. Would give 0 stars if an option.
M_Fite : missed a lot of fish
The only thing i don’t like about it is that it fills up with water every few casts and you have to squeeze the water out. plus i have missed multiple fish that have hit it. i’m thinking there is something wrong with the hook placement on this lure cause the hooks are sharp.
Kayla Harmon : Looks
It looks very realistic.
I'm just saying : Bass Slayer.
Realistic and catches fish like crazy.
Brian David Eovitch : These lures are just too cool! They make great gifts!!!
This review is for “Lunkerhunt Phantom Spider – Weedless Fishing Lure with Realistic Design, Weighs ¼ oz, 2” Length”. I bought three of these as a gift for my sweetheart who loves fishing. The colors I got her are as follows: Widow Maker, Six Spot and Dock. I couldn’t decide on just one color of these awesome lures! I thought about buying them all. My sweetheart was ecstatic when she opened the Amazon box and saw them!!! She can’t wait until she can go fishing and use them. She also loves spiders so these were a win win. The legs are just so lifelike and they look like real spiders. I did some research and watched a bunch of videos where people were fishing with these and had awesome results. I’ll come back and update my review after she uses them to fish. Hope this helps and have a great and blessed day! ????????
Zach and Britney Phillips : Nice
Nice husband loved it
sidney vandyke : Excellent Lure
This is a Very Good Lure, i wish they had more colors. I only have 1 problem with this Spider, the legs feel a little too fragile, i have caught a 3 pound bass with it, so far its holding up very well, it never fails too draw strikes. Overall I love this product, just needs more colors and the legs need to be Tougher.
Tim G : Decent and fun but not needs practice
Caught one small bass (1.5 lb). Missed a couple as I am still figuring out how to set the hook. You definitely have to pause and time it properly. Doesn’t cast all that great due to the design. Decent action on top of the water.
Diana : Larger than I thought it would be
Liked how it looks
Donnie Grigsby : Great price and fast delivery
My son got it for Christmas and he's already used. Has great life like action. He wants to order other colors.
Matthew A. Hensley : was skeptical about this lure.
I've watched a few videos of people using this lure and i thought it was a lure to only catch people instead of fish cause of its high price, but one day at Wal-Mart i seen it on sale and decided to buy it and didn't use it at first waited a few months then I try it for the first time and literally caught a decent size 2lbs bass. i would for sure buy others as long as they are not over priced....
Diana : Larger than I thought it would be
Liked how it looks
Hector marquez : So life like
It works amazing first cast with it and caught a 5 pound bass love it ordered more of them
robert : Very realistic but won’t float
Looks realistic but definitely won’t float. First cast it started to sink. I got frustrated so I took it off and put it back in my tackle box. Very disappointed that it didn’t float.
josh : Doesn't work like the one I physically bought off the shelf
Doesn't float like its supposed too
Bradley K. : Wouldn’t buy again
Didn’t float well, tough to make it look real on the water.
Houseplant : Expected more from Lunkerhunt
I have used several different Lunkerhunt lures over the years to pretty good success, and this has been the worst. IS NOT a topwater lure. These are one of those fishing lures that is designed to catch fishermen, not fish.
Daniel Devine : Fun!
I’ve been throwing it over low hanging branches and letting it dangle just at the surface of the water, slightly bouncing it up and down and it’s driving the bass crazy! So fun!
Roxanne : Looks good
It's a pretty big lure but looks cool. I haven't used it yet so can't say if it gets anything. B
Kathy Hampton : Doesn't float
Spiders were suppose to float on top of the water. They did not float!
Mark Hepfl : Great action
Spider has great topwater action. Lots of strikes. I had cheaper version legs fell off. This one is rock solid. Ordered more colors slready.
Joe P. -Miller : Lure came just as described. Looks great.
Lunkerhunt makes good baits.. Can't wait to use it in battle. Very nice topwater.
Anthony Brown : The spider!!!!!
I had a lot of fun using this until I got it stuck on a log lol. The only problem I had is bringing in the fish b4 it came unhooked. So spread them hooks out so u can land that big one.
Lawerence Bowens : is ok
i really liked the look and feel of this lure. it caught a few fish. The hooks are good and sticky sharp. The body collapsed easily of easy hook ups. The durablilty is an issue. i lost one leg on the first case. Then a second leg about three cast later pulling the lure throusom brush. i’d like to see the lure manufacturer’s come up with a more durable product. Another thing I’d like to see improved is the water tightness of the lure improved. i had to squeeze the water out of the lure about every three or four case. would purchase the lure again as well as recommended the lure. it worked for me.
Robert tracy : Looks great
Only 4 stars because i haven't got to try it yet but bigger then expected, witch is a good thing look 5 star
Justin : Extreme disappointment!!!
Looks good but is a huge disappointment. Doesn't even begin to float. Not a top water lure at all. Would give 0 stars if an option.
Martiñon : bueno pero no dura
solo lo he usado un par de veces sin atrapar ningún pez con él, ya que donde vivo no tengo cuerpos de agua cercas de mi casa por esto lo he tenido guardado en mi caja de anzuelos en un espacio solo y hace unos días note al revisar mi equipo que las patas prácticamente se están desprendiendo del cuerpo no se si es mi suerte pero me molesto mucho ya que no es un anzuelo barato y para el tiempo y uso que le he dado me parece de mala calidad.
Donnie Grigsby : Great price and fast delivery
My son got it for Christmas and he's already used. Has great life like action. He wants to order other colors.
shaun montgomery : Great bait. Doesn’t last too long.
Legs get eaten easily.
Tordek : 2 down more to buy
Did well on the water plan on buying more soon!
Jamie : Awesome lure!
I have had nothing but great consistent catches on this lure! I was skeptical at first but it just works. My new favorite lure in the tackle box! Update: The lure does work but not very durable. If you get it, you may want to get a couple of them.
JOHN SCHIRMER : spider
does not cast as far as i thought floats well
Breadcrumbs : Terrible presentation.
It might have been a bad apple but my spider started sinking in the first cast. It also has a hard time flipping over if you land it upside down due to the legs. For a 9 dollar lure i am a bit disappointed. I could work it just great a few times but if it landed weird after a pop it would just start sinking and flipping in the water. Not sure what to feel about it.
Noah Frank : Scary
I just bought it to scare people works great
Bradley K. : Wouldn’t buy again
Didn’t float well, tough to make it look real on the water.
