Phantom Bruise (3.8" Minnow)

Phantom Bruise triggers bass in the best way possible.

The SwampGhost 3.8" Minnow is built to do one thing—get eaten. 

Designed with a natural baitfish profile and a perfectly balanced body, this minnow delivers hyper-real movement on the retrieve and an irresistible glide on the fall. Every detail is tuned to mimic real forage, triggering instinctive reaction strikes from bass in all conditions.

What sets it apart is the light-reactive color system. As the bait moves through the water column, subtle shifts in light bring the bait to life—creating depth, flash, and a constantly changing profile that bass haven’t seen before.

It’s not just another minnow. It’s a bait that comes alive underwater.

Phantom Bruise caught us off guard—in the best way. Why? Because Bass slam this color and absolutely love it.

Built with a dark purple shell loaded with black and red flake, then injected with a blood red core and tail, this color quickly proved itself as a true big-bass producer.

In classic SwampGhost fashion, the magic happens under the surface. As light hits the edges, the red core glows through while the deep purple shifts into a subtle blue hue—creating incredible depth and a constantly changing profile.

It’s a color that doesn’t just look different—it comes alive in the water. And bass notice.

Fish it your way:

• Jighead – Perfect for a clean, natural presentation with lifelike movement
• Chatterbait Trailer – Adds vibration, flash, and a realistic baitfish profile
• Spinnerbait Trailer – Enhances profile and creates a subtle tail kick behind the blades
• Live Scoping – Track it, watch it, and trigger strikes in real time

Why it works:

• Natural baitfish profile with fluid movement
• Semi-translucent body adds depth and realism
• Reaction bites because Bass simply can't ignore it
• Subtle black and red flake help aid in contrast and depth
