El_Weruso Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 Same thing as a TK, nothing really different lol The dam lip design is the same as well. Perhaps they worked together? iFishLA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adusak Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 Just got my sweetkiller. It's got a much smaller profile than the TK. The lip from the TK might fit if you really jam it in there. The tails would need to be trimmed up a bit to fit as the depsis more rounded. Seems like the sweetkiller would be a good option if the fish want something smaller.

If you do a search on YouTube it's clearly the silent killer 145 mod. with a round lip and fluke tail. Looks like the opposite as far as a rip off design. The old silent killer 145 lip can be removed with a hair dryer. The new versions are now made from ABS obviously. There is a connection between the new the sweet killer and silent killer. IMO throw big baits. iFishLA, Tony_x18 and Loudsplashbassn_ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a connection between the new the sweet killer and silent killer. IMO throw big baits. Looks like they used the 145 body which is smart to use something you already have vs designing a whole new body. But they used the same tail slot and lip style as the TK nobody that I know of had that before DRT. Line tie in the same spot. Even the back section looks like its reshaped a bit looking closer to the TK. I'm far from a DRT fan boy I'm not mad about this or even the TK KO to be honest. DRT should keep up with demand if they dont want people to go elsewhere but IMO they tried making their own TK. iFishLA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
