justintrask Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 For anyone who has fished both of these baits, I'm wondering what the main difference in swim between the two are. I've seen @jkarol24 review of the Doomrider, but interested in swim videos/thoughts on the Sentinel. I absolutely love the look of the perch sentinel, but not sure how the performance is compared to the doomrider I have coming in. Thanks SU!

SwingAway Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 Having fished both, my impression has been that the sentinel can withstand more abrupt/aggressive/faster input and retrieves, while the doom performs better for wider, smoother, and slower retrieves and presentations. Both are also capable of both approaches though. Just my .02 disrupt725, justintrask and AnthonyCatlow 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooksets_arefree Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 Fished a sentinel all last summer and did great on it, picked up a doom rider and used it twice, then just stuck with the sentinel because I found it way more stable and my doom rider always nosed down or up really hard chevro1et 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SumoNinja Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 I don't have a ton of experience with them but I have fished both. Because of the tail u can be more aggressive with the sentinel, stability and balance is better from what I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOX941 Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 He’s doing a drop for sentinels in like 45 min. Just FYI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerkbait22 Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 I was surprised how long these stayed up. I have a Doomrider, grabbed a sentinel to try. I have too many glides as it is but I’ve caught a lot of fish on bass patterns and couldn’t resist trying one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the profile of the bait and really wanted to make it work but ended up trading it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
