Tracks straight and stable across all rigging styles
The Spectre Minnow 5" is built for chasing bigger predators with a subtle touch. Designed for estuary, freshwater and light offshore use, it delivers a lifelike baitfish profile with a stealthy flash edge. The Mirage-X foil system sends out light pulses with every twitch, helping fish hone-in when visibility is low or pressure is high. Its longer body and slim paddle tail create a natural rolling swim, while soft PVC and UV-reactive colour blends give it both movement and visibility. Perfect for Snapper, Mulloway or XL Flathead when a finesse presentation is key.

STORAGE TIPS
PVC + TPE Don’t Mix
Crafted from high-quality PVC instead of TPE, the Spectre Minnow Mirage-X doesn’t have the super-stretchy feel of other baits in the Live Ops range, however the PVC allows for an ultra-finesse profile with delicate tails that move naturally, even on the slowest retrieve.
***JUST REMEMBER don’t store PVC and TPE lures together, as they can react and deform.
