Product description
The Ghost Snake is a slim walking pencil built for reading water on the surface. Its weighted tail and internal rattle system give it a tight side-to-side kick that anglers can control with simple rod-tip twitches, calling bass up from cover without a single treble touching the bottom.
Available in three sizes, it covers everything from calm pond mornings to windier lake conditions where a bigger profile pushes more water. It excels around grass edges, laydowns, and open flats when bass are keyed on baitfish near the top.
How to fish it
- Cast past visible cover and let the lure sit until rings disappear before starting the retrieve.
- Use short, downward rod snaps with slack line to make the bait walk side to side across the surface.
- Pause every few feet, especially near grass edges or laydowns, since strikes often come during the stall.
- Slow the cadence in calm water and speed it up when wind chop covers your presence.
Frequently asked
The 90mm is the most versatile choice for most lakes and ponds. Downsize to the 60mm for finesse days or heavily pressured fish, and step up to the 100mm when you want a bigger silhouette for larger bass or windy conditions.
Use natural, translucent patterns like this ghost/gold finish in clear water where fish get a good look at the bait. In stained or murky water, a solid or darker pattern with more contrast helps bass locate it.
A medium-power spinning or casting rod with a fast tip works well for imparting walk-the-dog action. Braided line or a fluorocarbon leader on braid reduces line drag and keeps the bait walking smoothly.
It shines during warmer months when bass are actively feeding on baitfish near the surface, particularly in early morning and evening low-light periods over grass flats and points.
