Does anyone fish the 6TH Sense Panorama? What size? Have any success?  How do you rig it? Is this bait any better than a standard fluke?  Gimmick or the real deal?  I watched a couple videos on this bait, and now the Bait Monkey is all over my back.  I already have way more baits than I can ever fish.  I'm trying to decide if I need one more.  I am mainly interested in the 9 inch size, but I am also curious about other sizes.  

Josh Jones recently said during a podcast that he lost a 17-18lb fish on bed hooked via bubba shot 9" Panorama and 1oz weight.

Dude worked on the fish for 4 days, paid a guy to sit on the fish when he went home......this was for his biggest client, and he let the client hook the fish.    They tried everything he said, first cast with the 9" Panorama and she ate.

 

Bet it would great Free Rigged.  

I saw that podcast, and the Bait Monkey has been screaming in my ear non stop.  It got my curiosity up, so I watched a couple more videos on the bait.  Now the Bait Monkey is going crazy.  He is even loosing his fear of my wife.  All videos I watched were made by 6TH Sense pros.  Would be nice to get a more objective opinion.  I doubt the Monkey will listen to common sense right now, but he might not pick a fight with my wife if I can convince him the bait is new and could be all hype.  

The reviews seem to be mixed, the guys on youtube are being very hype about the bait saying its the next big thing, where others are having them do 360's and moving in all kinds of weird ways when trying to retrieve them, mixed with some bad QC and a short durability life span.

(edit) Actually i think it was their Hangover swimbait doing the 360's but still both have some bad customer reviews on durability, rigging, quality etc....

They look kind of weird too, and im a big 6th Sense fan. Ive got dozens of their lipless cranks and really like the Trace swimbaits....

As a 6th sense guy, Milliken hasn’t thrown it yet in any of his tournaments so that tells me all I need to know.

The 3.5" and the 5" Have worked for me. The 3.5" works great on a drop shot while the 5" is my go-to Free Rig bait. I have not tried the bigger sizes.

A friend of mine raided the tackle shop at OH Ivie last October and sent me some 5" models and this 9" 'thing'. I've had this sitting on my desk at home for over 6 months, and haven't found the perfect time (and figured out the perfect rigging) yet. So, here it sits.

I've tried, haven't been able to make a fish eat one yet.

That's crazy and makes me roll my eyes.  Another thread/another day.  

Picked up a pack of the 5 inch ones. Might try them on texoma next time I get out. Could be a great striper lure at least

I bet if you rigged it wacky on a weighted jig head, the stripers would smash it.
