Great For These Species
Ghost Minnow - 1 1/4 oz Slab
A slim, translucent-finish slab lure built for clear, cold, deep water — the days when finicky fish ignore everything bigger. At 1¼ oz, the Ghost Minnow drops fast and holds a true vertical line from 20 to 60 feet, a deadly deep-water jigging spoon for pressured walleye, hybrid bass, and striped bass. Its narrow profile mimics live shad in high-visibility water and earns strikes when bulkier slabs get overlooked. When walleye pull out to deep structure in fall and winter, a slow-jigged Ghost Minnow is one of the most dependable cold-water presentations in the boat. Hand-painted and assembled in Canton, Oklahoma, USA.

Overview
Why Seasoned Anglers Love the Ghost Minnow - 1 1/4 oz Slab
The Ghost Minnow is Lead Babies' slim, deep-water specialist. Its narrower profile triggers finicky fish in clear, cold water when bigger presentations get ignored. A favorite for walleye and hybrid bass over deep structure.
Like every Lead Babies Slab, the Ghost Minnow is hand-painted and assembled in Canton, Oklahoma — never mass-produced. That hands-on craft is why it has earned a place in tackle boxes, guide boats, and Bass Pro Shops across nine states since 1989.
When fish are pressured, or water is gin-clear, the Ghost Minnow's narrow silhouette draws strikes that bulkier slabs can't.
The hand-painted see-through finish mimics live baitfish in high-visibility water for a natural, get-bit look.
At 1¼ oz, it reaches 20–60 ft quickly and holds a true vertical line for precise structure fishing.
A favorite for winter and early-spring walleye when a subtle, slow-rolled presentation outproduces everything else.

How To Fish The Ghost Minnow - 1 1/4 oz Slab
01
Position over deep structure — 20 to 60 feet — and drop the Ghost Minnow straight down on a tight line.
02
Work it with subtle 6–12" lifts. In cold water, slower and shorter is almost always better.
03
For suspended walleye and stripers, slowly drag and lift just off bottom, keeping contact with structure.
04
Use white, shad, and silver in clear water; add chartreuse for a low-light or stained-water edge.
