Well Chris, I think you got it right!
Measuring 3 1/8" long, you can see how it compares to several other popular swim baits. The difference between all them is the SST's tail. The larger design, almost double the other brands, along with the angle, which is almost a 90 degree angle to the body, gives this swim bait unbelievable action in the water.
L to R – Slayer Inc SST, ZMan, DOA, Bass Assassin
Rigged with either a 3/0, 1/8 oz XXX Penetrator Weedless Wide Gap hook or a Predator or Destroyer Jig head in the same size, this lure can be slow trolled back, twitched and let fall or ripped back. whichever your style of retrieve, the fish can’t resist it.
The following videos demonstrate the action rigged in both fashions.
(Sorry for the poor quality, I'm a one man show).

After just a few trips with this lure, I can safely say that Chris has a winner on his hands. I prefer the weedless set up, slow trolled in and around big schools of mullet I have nailed redfish after redfish with the SST in "Gold Finga". With many new and exciting colors coming out, look for the Sinister Swim Bait in your local tackle store, or better yet just visit http://www.slayerinc.com and order them on-line.
May try that setup next time I'm out
