Says “Phantom” on the underside. No idea what the brand is. No idea if they’re even made anymore.
Backstory. My grandpa took me to some kind of boat and fishing show in Wichita one weekend. There, a pro bass fisherman was demonstrating this bait in a big tank of water full of big ol’ large mouths. Of course he pulls one nearly every cast.
So I, being a 8 year old who didn’t know better, asked grandpa to buy me these! Grandpa, a very good fisherman, was very skeptical. But I was very insistent. He was a good grandpa and bought some anyway.
I started out with 5. After 30 years, this is the remaining one. And I still have never caught a damn thing on em! 🤣
Thanks for the lesson grandpa!

Uhhhhhh…
about 12 years ago there were “soft plastics spooks” made by YUM that looked like this. good lord they were awful, but they got me for about $200. it was going to be the perfect topwater! god i wish being 8 was an excuse i could use, i was in my 30s.
I guess it’s supposed to be a leech? Which bass DO eat. It might work if presented verrrrrrrry slowly in clear water.
Did you find that in a bedside drawer?
Looks like it might work when females are on the beds.
