Lanier Lures Drifter Series 5" Jointed Trout Swimbait – Mountain Ghost
Small enough to match the hatch. Detailed enough to fool anything that sees it.
The Mountain Ghost is painted to match a juvenile trout in its prime — the kind of forage that big bass, trophy browns, and predatory fish can’t resist. Hand-painted on a 5" jointed trout blank, this swimbait features a vivid chartreuse-yellow belly, olive-brown back, bold blue parr marks, scattered red spots, and a striking blue-and-red tail that flashes with every S-curve through the water.
It looks like a juvenile trout that got separated from the school. Bass know exactly what to do with that.
The jointed body produces a fluid, natural swimming action that mimics a small trout moving through the current — gliding, darting, and flashing in a way that triggers instinctive predatory strikes. Whether you’re slow-rolling it along the bottom, swimming it through the water column, or letting it drift on a slack line, Mountain Ghost stays in the strike zone and looks alive the entire time.
