A classic streamer with an enticing, ghostlike profile. The Marabou Ghost’s flowing marabou tail and subtle body shimmer pulse naturally in the water, creating lifelike movement that draws strikes from aggressive trout and bass in both rivers and lakes.

How to fish it
Swing across seams in rivers, strip–pause–strip along banks, or jig it through pockets and runs. In lakes, count down to depth and retrieve with steady strips, mixing in pauses to let the marabou breathe and pulse. Use 3–4X tippet and adjust sink-tip or line choice based on depth.
Care
Rinse after use and air-dry before boxing. Fluff marabou between fingers if it mats; reshape hackle fibers as needed.
