The Mangrove Ghost Baitfish is a deadly saltwater fly built to fool tarpon, snook, redfish, and other inshore predators hunting tight cover. Tied on a strong Size 1 Mustad Rune Big Game Hook, it features a rabbit strip tail reinforced with bucktail to prevent fouling, subtle Flashabou highlights for extra shimmer, and a sculpted EP Minnow Brush head that pushes water and holds a lifelike baitfish profile. Durable plastic eyes finish the fly with realism, while the optional weed guard makes it perfect for sliding through mangroves, docks, or grass flats without snagging.
