Museum Archive: Vintage Mann's Bait Mann's Ghost Weedless, 2/5oz fishing lure #17905

Silver glitter flakes are embedded throughout the translucent pinkish-brown body of this 4" (10 cm) hollow-bodied topwater bait. Mann’s Bait Company manufactured these in the USA with a weight of 2/5 oz (12 g), specifically balanced to facilitate a "walk-the-dog" retrieve even for those new to the technique. This specimen, identified by product code 17905, remains in 5/5 condition, featuring clear yellow eyes with deep black pupils and a sharp, upturned hook point tucked close to the plastic for weedless performance. The soft plastic shell contains an internal rattle, adding an audible dimension as it moves across heavy surface mats or through open water pockets. Its density is calibrated for long-distance casting on heavy gear, ensuring you can reach deep into thick vegetation where bass often hide. The speckled finish and silver glitter provide a subtle flash that contrasts against the matte surface of lily pads.
