Alternative/best way to short bonds (Treasuries)?

[Saltynuts]

What are some of the best way to short U.S. Treasuries? I assume Treasury futures, options? Any good ETFs out there? Tying to compile a list so I can research everything out there for this purpose. Thanks!

You can just sell a treasury short, same as you would a stock. You're responsible for paying the coupon if there is one, just like dividends on a stock you're shorting.
