Museum Archive: Vintage Mann's Bait Mann's Ghost Weedless, 2/5oz White fishing lure #17780

Measuring 4" (10 cm) in length, this hollow-bodied surface lure from Mann's Bait is a classic example of American lure design. The white finish is accented by high-contrast yellow eyes with black outlines, providing a clear focal point for predators striking from beneath thick lily pads or grass. Weighted at 2/5 oz (12 g), the Ghost is engineered to fly through the air during a cast, reaching those distant, hard-to-access pockets where big bass hide. This floating, rattling specimen is designed for a weedless presentation, allowing for a side-to-side 'walk the dog' action across surface mats or in open water. Listed under product code 17780, it features a single hook that stays tucked against the soft plastic body to avoid snags. The overall state of the lure is excellent, earning a 5/5 condition rating for its remarkably clean surface and secure hardware. A durable metal line tie is located at the very tip of the nose for precise control.
