Precision-Engineered for High-Current Conditions
The Shimano Current Sniper Jigs are purpose-built to excel in challenging high-current environments where traditional jigs struggle to maintain bottom contact and proper action. Featuring Shimano's innovative streamlined design and optimized weight distribution, these specialized vertical jigs cut through current with minimal resistance while delivering the erratic action needed to trigger strikes from deep-dwelling predators in fast-moving water.
Hydrodynamic Design for Current Control
- Streamlined Profile: Aerodynamic body shape cuts through current with minimal resistance, allowing you to maintain bottom contact with less weight
- Optimized Weight Distribution: Precisely balanced for stable descent and controlled action even in strong current
- Compact Design: Reduced surface area minimizes current drag while maintaining fish-attracting profile
- Fast-Sinking Action: Gets to the strike zone quickly and stays there in challenging conditions
Premium Construction and Finish
- Durable Coating: High-quality finish withstands repeated strikes and contact with structure
- Holographic Patterns: Realistic baitfish colors and flash patterns trigger predatory instincts
- Heavy-Duty Assist Hooks: Premium hooks positioned for optimal hookup ratio on aggressive strikes
- Corrosion-Resistant Hardware: Saltwater-tough components handle harsh offshore environments
- Multiple Size Options: Range of weights to match current conditions and target depth
Built for High-Current Environments
Whether you're fishing deep-water wrecks with ripping current, working offshore structure in tidal flow, targeting rockfish on current-swept reefs, pursuing snapper and grouper on deep ledges with strong bottom current, or jigging for amberjack and yellowtail where current makes fishing difficult, the Current Sniper delivers the performance you need. The streamlined design lets you use lighter jigs than traditional designs, reducing fatigue while maintaining bottom contact and proper action.
Versatile Jigging Techniques
The Current Sniper excels with both speed jigging and slow-pitch techniques in current. For speed jigging, the streamlined profile allows rapid vertical movement with minimal current resistance. For slow-pitch applications, the optimized weight distribution creates an enticing flutter and fall even when current is pushing the jig. The compact design also makes this jig effective for drift fishing over structure, where maintaining bottom contact in current is critical for success.
Why Current-Fishing Specialists Choose Current Sniper
Professional captains and serious vertical jigging enthusiasts choose the Current Sniper because it solves the fundamental challenge of fishing in current: maintaining bottom contact and proper jig action when water is moving fast. The hydrodynamic design cuts through current efficiently, letting you fish lighter weights that are easier to work all day while still reaching and staying in the strike zone. The premium construction ensures reliable performance trip after trip, even in the most demanding offshore conditions.
Experience the difference that specialized design makes when fishing in current. The Shimano Current Sniper isn't just a vertical jig—it's a precision tool engineered to help you succeed when current makes fishing challenging.
Conquer high-current conditions with Shimano Current Sniper Jigs—where hydrodynamic design meets deadly effectiveness.

Engineered to be both aerodynamic and hydrodynamic, this jig can be casted very long distances with little movement in the air with unmatched accuracy and has the ability once it enters the water to swim and move ever so subtle as a helpless lonely bait fish in the abyss.
Built with VMC 9626 high quality hooks and wire through design makes this jig one of the best performing in its class. This match the hatch to local baitfish casting jig can be casted, jigged or even in some cases trolled.
Features:
REAR WEIGHT DESIGN - A design that allows for maximum casting distance, even in smaller sizes. A rear weighted design also allows for more side to side kick when swimming the lure on the retrieve.
WIRE-THROUGH DESIGN - Designed for maximum durability. A wire through construction will hold up to violent strikes that would cause issues with standard screw-in hardware.

When fish are breaking the surface or just subsurface, the Shimano Current Sniper Sinking Stickbait is going to be deadly! This sinking stickbait is perfect for when fish are feeding on the surface and uses superior finishes and stout 3X strong hooks and split rings. There are several retrieval methods that can be used effectively on many different predator fish.
This was previously known as the Coltsniper.
Subsurface walk-the-dog is a very effective method and creates the illusion of a fleeing baitfish. This can be more easily created using a spinning setup like the Shimano Thunnus and Shimano Terez but conventional rods and reels may also be used. Moving the rod tip while winding the reel with short pauses will cuase the bait to move left and right. It's very important to give the lure some slack after pulling it each time. If slack isn't given after each pull, the lure will not have the line needed to glide momentarily before you pull it again. Skipping the lure on the surface is also a technique that can invoke a strike. Cast as far as you can and don't let it sink out. Wind back the lure as fast as you can so that it skips on the surface.
We are excited to use the Shimano Current Sniper Stickbait on yellowtail, tuna, calico bass and striper here in Southern California. We are sure it will work for any agressive predator fish you have. Ideally we would use a 8,000 to 12,000 size Shimano Thunus or Stella spinning reel and an 8' to 9' Shimano Terez or Ocea Plugger spinning rod. Line class is going to depend on what you are fishing for but 50-80lb Power Pro with a 4-7 foot monofilament or fluorocarbon leader would be ideal. The leader size will differ but 30-50lb line would be normal range for this type of fishing. Using a split ring on the nose with a solid ring on the split ring would allow the lure to move correctly. You can also tie a loop knot of your chose to allow lure movement.
120mm - 4.7in - 1.13oz
140mm - 5.5in - 1.91oz
Sinking
The Shimano Current Sniper Jerkbait is designed with Shimano's unique Propulsion Weight Transfer System for exceptional long distance casting - allowing the internal weight to slide back during the cast, and then springing forward when the lure hits the water. Ideal to target both calico bass and Yellowtail in SoCal waters and stripers on the East coast. This was previously known as the Coltsniper.
Along with covering lots of water from lengthy casts - up to 22-percent longer than similar weight and length lures, anglers can work the Currentsniper jerkbait in a tight wobble action, or slide action by jerking it. With a slow floating design, it can be fished down to 3 - to 5-foot depths. Chemical finish treble hooks are featured at both mid-body and at the tail.
140mm - 5.5in - 1.13oz
170mm - 6.7in - 1.87oz
Kicker Pickle Kick Swimbaits PK-5 is a must-have for trophy bass hunters. Extensive testing with fluid dynamics provides a natural swimming pattern and weedless design, while its durable construction delivers a proven fish-catching action. Experience drawing power and take your trophy bass hunting to the next level.
What we like about it is the incredible action and great durability. It's hard find a bait that will withstand repeated catches of calico bass and still be in near perfect shape. Other plastic baits are good for one or two fish, but the Kicker Pickle Kick will withstand the most aggressive fishing day. Tie one on, you'll see what we're talking about.
The Kicker Pickle Kicks PK-5 measures in at 5 inches and pairs up with a Warbaits Neckbreaker Jig Head just perfectly, as well as your favorite weighted EWG hook.

Hookup Baits Large Jigs have to be one of the most popular sizes Hookup Baits produces, the 5/8oz Red Crab and Mint are known as the "White Seabass Special"
There are many ways to fish the hookup bait but casting it out and letting it fall on a tight line will pendulum it down in an arc. This can be very effective since it allows the bait to swim as it falls. This is effective when fish are suspended in the column and not on the top or bottom.
If fish are on the bottom, we like to let it sink to the bottom and pop it off the bottom and then allowing it to sink back down. Continue this retrieve all the way back to the boat or shore.
If they are in the upper part of the column, cast and start retrieving soon after the lure hits the surface. Most of the time a slow and steady retrieve works best but you can also burn it on the surface for very active surface feeding fish.
Tie a Hookup Bait on and see what method works best for you. The bottom line is these baits get bit on salt and fresh water fish.
