Blacksheep Musky Tackle 5.5" Cabbage Axe: More Flash, More Strikes

The legend of the Cabbage Ghost has evolved. Taking the iconic Eagle River design to the next level, Blacksheep Musky Tackle introduces the 5.5" Cabbage Axe. We’ve kept the soul of the original hybrid bait and added a high-visibility rear blade to create a lure that doesn’t just move through the water—it commands it.

The Evolution of the Ghost

While the Cabbage Ghost is known for its stealthy, erratic action, the Cabbage Axe is built for the angler who needs that extra edge. By adding a premium rear blade, we’ve introduced a consistent "flash and dash" element that triggers aggressive reaction strikes even in stained water or low-light conditions.

Versatile Hybrid Action + Visual Trigger

The Cabbage Axe is a solid plastic masterpiece that offers the same "choose your own adventure" retrieve as the Ghost, but with an added rhythmic vibration.

• The Glide: Execute short, snapping rod pops to send the bait into a wide, side-to-side glide. The rear blade flickers on every turn, mimicking a wounded baitfish.

• The Dive-and-Rise: Work the durable plastic lip with aggressive pulls to submerge the bait. As it rises tantalizingly toward the surface, the blade continues to spin and catch light, providing a visual "tail" that muskies can’t ignore.

• The Acoustic Signature: Equipped with our signature internal homemade rattles, the Axe provides a dual-sensory appeal—combining unique underwater sound with high-intensity visual flash.

Your New Secret Weapon for Shallow Cover

Like its predecessor, the 5.5" Cabbage Axe is a cold water killer, but its added flash makes it a premier choice for fishing over the tops of weed beds and through cabbage patches. The 3–4 foot running depth allows you to pick apart shallow structure where big fish hide.
