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 jigβit's a precision tool engineered to help you succeed when current makes fishing challenging.
Conquer high-current conditions with Shimano Current Sniper Jigsβwhere hydrodynamic design meets deadly effectiveness.
Deps Sakamata Shad is a soft bait with the darting and jumping action. The keels on both sides of the body give it a natural baitfish action while appealing to the predatory instincts of bass. The darting and jumping action of Deps Sakamata Shad makes it irresistible to bass. With natural-looking keels on both sides of the body, this soft bait has a baitfish-like movement that is sure to entice those predatory instincts.
It can be fished weightless to imitate baitfish trying to escape near the surface and jumping out of the water. It can also be fished on the bottom with a split-shot or Carolina-Rigs and the bait will dart near the bottom like a fish looking to hide.
The performance and versatility of the Sakamata Shad makes it easy to catch fish in a variety of situations.Β This fluke style bait is like the regular flukes but on a whole other level.

The Deps Sakamata ShadΒ design of the body is smooth and creates low water resistance making it easy for the bait to dart side-to-side. It can be fished quickly to generate reaction bites.
The salt content varies based on the size of the bait (8inch = 5%, 6inch / 5inch = 10%, 4inch = 5%) and the material has strength and holds hooks securely, which reduces tearing and breaking.
The Keel is the secret for the unique jumping dirt action of Sakamata Shad. It allows the water to flow and creates a unique jumping action. It also acts as a rudder to create better darting action.

The Submission Fishing Jigs SumoΒ is so versatile that when it's tied on the eye side, the heavy belly of the jig will slide through the water column allowing you to fish underneath docks, pilings, and other hard to reach places.Β When tied from the belly side, it will have a more traditional vertical fall. With a wobbling, leaf-like action, the squat, round-belly shape of this jig falls into the depths of the ocean to entice saltwater bay bass as well as many others. The Sumo's compact design also allows you to use a heavier jig in a smaller presentation for precision fishing. Perfect for fishing shallow docks or 60 ft of kelp beds (the 40 and 60g are perfect for kelp) with a heavy tide swing.Β
Submission Jigs The Sumo comes in 20g, 40g, and 60g.
All jigs feature BKK assist hooks with UV tassels and heavy duty split rings.
Submission Fishing Jigs Mercenary is effective in many conditions.Β Β Whether you're casting out on a boat for pelagic, vertical fishing for bass off the docks, or casting from shore, the Slow Death Mercenary jig can be very productive. This jig's unique shape produces a fluttering, twirling action on the fall and an erratic swimming action on the retrieve. It can be fished vertically or cast and retrieved. Itβs the ultimate dying baitfish imitator, and greedy fish wonβt be able to resist.

The Sudden Impact 8" Fluke is a large-profile soft jerkbait built for anglers throwing big plastics at white seabass, halibut, and calico bass along the Southern California coast. At 8 inches and 1.2 oz, it matches the mackerel and squid-sized forage these fish are keyed on, and it carries enough mass to cast well on conventional and heavier spinning gear without a heavy head.
Rigged on an 8/0 swimbait jig head, it fishes as a slow-rolled or yo-yo presentation over structure, kelp edges, and sand-to-reef transitions. Rigged weightless on an 8/0 EWG hook, it glides and darts on slack line for shallow water and pressured fish.
What Makes This Bait Work
- 8" profile β sized to match adult squid and small mackerel, the forage white seabass and larger halibut feed on
- 1.2 oz body weight β enough mass to cast weightless, and enough body to stay down on a slow retrieve
- Soft, flexible plastic β the tail section flutters on the pause and on the drop rather than going stiff
- Two proven West Coast colors β Pearl White for clear water and bright conditions, Market Squid for low light, dirty water, and squid spawn
- Takes an 8/0 hook β the body is sized for an 8/0 jig head or 8/0 EWG, not a smaller bass-sized hook
- Sold as a single bait β buy the exact colors and quantity you need
Best Uses
Target Species
- White seabass β slow-rolled on an 8/0 head near kelp and structure, especially during squid spawn
- California halibut β dragged and hopped along sand flats and sand-to-structure edges
- Calico bass β worked over shallow kelp stringers and boiler rocks
- Striped bass β bays, harbors, and river mouths on a slow, steady retrieve
- Largemouth bass (trophy) β weightless glide for big fish on Castaic and Pyramid
Techniques
- Slow roll β 8/0 jig head, steady retrieve just off the bottom or just under the kelp canopy
- Yo-yo β lift and drop; most bites come on the fall, so watch your line
- Weightless glide β 8/0 EWG, twitch-twitch-pause; the bait darts side to side and hangs on the pause
- Bottom drag β for halibut, keep contact with the sand and pause every few feet
Choosing Your Jig Head
This bait takes an 8/0 hook. Head weight is the variable β pick it based on depth and current, not on the size of the bait.
| Conditions | Suggested Head Weight | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Shallow kelp, calm, under 25 ft | 1/2 oz | Keeps the bait high in the water column and preserves the glide |
| 25β50 ft, moderate current | 3/4 oz | Gets down without killing the flutter on the drop |
| Deep structure or strong current | 1 oz or 2 oz | Maintains bottom contact and bite detection in moving water |
| Weightless / shallow finesse | 8/0 EWG hook, no head | The bait's 1.2 oz body carries the cast on its own |
Match the hook, not just the weight. A 4/0 head is too small for an 8" body β the hook point sits too far forward and you will miss fish. Rig this bait on an 8/0 head. The Lead Masters Fluke Head is purpose-built for baits like this one and comes in 1/2 oz, 3/4 oz, 1 oz, and 2 oz, so it covers every row of the table above.
Color Selection
| Color | Best Conditions | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pearl White | Clear water, bright sun, mid-day | Baitfish imitation β mackerel, sardine, smelt |
| Market Squid | Low light, dirty water, night, squid spawn | The default choice when squid are on the grounds |

Recommended Gear
| Component | Suggestion |
|---|---|

| Main line | 40β65 lb braid |
| Leader | 25β40 lb fluorocarbon; go heavier around kelp and structure |
Pro Tips
- Most of your bites come on the fall. Keep a slight bow in the line on the drop and watch where the line enters the water β you will see the bite before you feel it.
- Nose-hook it straight. If the bait sits crooked on the head, it will spin on the retrieve and kill the action. Lay the hook along the body before you thread it and mark where the point should exit.
- Slow down for white seabass. The retrieve that feels too slow is usually the right one, particularly during a squid spawn when fish are gorging and lazy.
Common Mistakes
- Using a hook that's too small. A bass-sized 4/0 leaves the point buried in an 8" body. Use 8/0.
- Over-weighting the head. Too much lead on shallow kelp drops the bait past the strike zone and flattens the glide. Start light and add weight only if you can't hold bottom.
- Retrieving too fast. This is a big, slow-moving profile. Burning it looks unnatural and pulls it away from structure-holding fish.
- Setting the hook too early. On a soft plastic this size, let the fish load the rod before you swing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size hook does the 8" Fluke take?
8/0. Either an 8/0 swimbait jig head or an 8/0 EWG hook for weightless rigging. A 4/0 is too small for this body length.
Is this sold in a pack or as a single bait?
Single bait. The listed price is for one 8" soft jerkbait in the color you select.
Can I fish this in freshwater?
Yes. It works as a trophy largemouth bait rigged weightless on an 8/0 EWG, particularly on local lakes with large trout and shad forage.
Which color should I start with?
Market Squid in low light, dirty water, or during a squid spawn. Pearl White in clear water and bright sun. If you're buying one of each, that covers most Southern California conditions.
How do I rig it weightless?
Thread an 8/0 EWG hook through the nose, run it down the body, and exit the point through the top so the bait sits straight. Keep the point exposed or lightly skin-hooked so it drives home on the hookset.
What jig head weight should I use?
1/2 oz for shallow kelp and calm conditions, 3/4 oz for 25β50 feet or moderate current, and 1 oz or 2 oz for deep structure and strong current. See the jig head table above.
Will this work for halibut?
Yes. Fish it on an 8/0 head, dragged and hopped along sand flats and along the edges where sand meets structure. Pause it frequently β halibut ambush from the bottom.
Complete the Setup
- Lead Masters Fluke Heads β 2-Pack, 8/0 β purpose-built fluke head, available 1/2 oz through 2 oz
- Dolphin Gitzem Jig Heads β 8/0 β alternate 8/0 swimbait head
From the Shop
We stock this bait because it's what our customers throw when they're targeting bigger fish with soft plastics on the local coast β the profile matches what white seabass and larger halibut are eating, and the 8/0 hook size means you're rigged for fish that pull. If you're not sure which head weight fits the water you're fishing, come see us on Soledad Canyon Road in Santa Clarita and we'll match it to your rod and your spot.

Tackle Express Tips:
- Attach the JF Jigging Assist Hooks in 5/0 to the tie point of the jig.Β Use a split ring and solid ring configuration increase hookup rate and less line failures.
- Use metered braided line so you know the depth you're fishing.Β Listen closely to how deep the captain says the fish are and match that depth with the metered 100ft per color line.Β
- If you're dropping the jig in open water and it stops, you're bit so start turn the handle until the rod loads up.Β Whatever you do, don't swing the rod you'll pull the lure out of the fishes mouth.

A stickbait lives or dies on whether an average angler can make it walk. The Espetit is built so it does β the taper and balance do most of the work, so you get a clean side-to-side glide without the wrist rhythm a lot of walking baits demand.
Short version: floating topwater stickbait in five sizes from 70mm to 140mm. Walk-the-dog and sliding action, twin cavities that pull bubbles down with the bait, and an internal rattle β with a silent version if the rattle is working against you.
What Makes It Different
- Dual cavities β the bait drags air down as it darts, leaving a bubble trail alongside the surface disturbance. Two signals instead of one.
- Internal rattle tuned to a specific frequency, adding sound to the visual and the bubbles.
- Floats at rest β the pause holds it in the strike zone instead of dropping out of it, and the pause is where most stickbait fish commit.
- Aerodynamic profile for distance, which matters when fish are boiling out of reach or you're covering a flat from the beach.
- Five sizes spanning bass-sized finesse to full pelagic profiles.
Rattle or Silent?
The White N Flash (Silent) is not a color variation β it's a rattle-free version of the bait, currently offered in 95mm.
Reach for the silent when fish are heavily pressured, the water is very clear and calm, or the rattling version has been getting follows and refusals. Sound is an attractant right up until it isn't, and on flat mornings a quiet bait sometimes gets eaten by the same fish that just refused a loud one. Take the rattle version everywhere else β chop, wind, stained water, and any time you need to call fish from a distance.
Which Size
| Size | Weight | Hooks | What it's for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 70mm | 6.8 g | #8 treble | Light spinning and BFS. Small forage, pressured freshwater bass. |
| 95mm | 10.5 g | #6 treble | The everyday size. Bass, spotted bay bass, and light surf work. |
| 110mm | β | β | The gap-filler. Bigger profile without going to full pelagic gear. |
| 125mm | 21 g | #2 treble | Saltwater surface work β calico bass, bonito, barracuda. |
| 140mm | 32 g | #1 treble | The long-cast option. Big surface profile for larger predators. |
We're confirming the 110mm's published weight and hook size with Fishus and will fill those in once verified β we'd rather show a blank than a guess. Call the shop and we'll weigh the one in the case.
Freshwater and Saltwater
The Espetit came out of the European seabass scene, which is why it casts and behaves the way it does β wind, chop, and long distances were the design brief.
Freshwater: 70mm and 95mm for largemouth and smallmouth, particularly on clear pressured lakes where a walking bait needs to be smaller than the standard.
Saltwater: the 125mm and 140mm are legitimate surface options for calico bass over structure, and for bonito and barracuda when they're feeding on top. The distance is the argument β boiling fish are usually further away than you'd like.
Fishing It Around Santa Clarita
Topwater windows on the local lakes move week to week. We publish Castaic Lake fishing reports with current conditions β worth checking before you decide it's a surface day.
Picking a Color
| Conditions | What to reach for |
|---|---|
| Overcast, low light, chop | White β the silhouette reads clean against a grey sky. |
| Bright sun, clear water | White N Flash or Flashy Shad β flash does the calling. |
| Very clear, wary fish | Translucid Anchovy β the subtlest profile in the lineup. |
| Stained water or tough bite | Hot Belly Glass β visible from below without being loud on top. |
Colors offered vary by size. The selector above is the live list.
Recommended Gear
- Rod: moderate action with a forgiving tip. Stiff rods rip trebles out of fish on surface strikes β the single most common way anglers lose topwater fish.
- Line: braid to a fluorocarbon or mono leader. Braid gives you the direct connection to work the walk; the leader gives you abrasion resistance and a little stretch.
- Avoid heavy fluorocarbon straight through β it sinks and pulls the nose down, fighting the bait's float.
Pro Tips from the Tackle Express Crew
- Slack line makes it walk. Twitch into slack, not into tension. A tight line pulls the bait straight and kills the side-to-side.
- Use the pause. It floats for a reason. Let it sit after a blow-up and miss β fish routinely come back for a bait that's sitting still.
- Wait to feel weight before you set. Setting on the splash pulls it out of the fish's mouth.
- Try the silent version on flat mornings. Same bait, one fewer signal. Sometimes that's the difference.
Common Mistakes
- Working it on a tight line. The bait needs slack to turn.
- Too stiff a rod. Costs you fish on every strike.
- Setting on sight. Wait for the weight.
- Undersizing for saltwater. A 95mm on calicos over structure will get bit β the #6 trebles are the limiting factor, not the bait.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between White N Flash and White N Flash (Silent)?
The silent version has no internal rattle. Same body, same action, one fewer signal β for pressured fish and flat, clear conditions. Currently offered in 95mm.
Which size should I start with?
95mm for freshwater bass and general use. 125mm if you're fishing saltwater surface for calicos, bonito, or barracuda.
Does it float?
Yes. It holds position on the pause instead of sinking out, which is where a lot of the bites come from.
How do I make it walk?
Twitch the rod tip into slack line, not into tension. The bait needs slack to turn β pulling tight drives it straight.
Can I use it in saltwater?
Yes β the Espetit was developed for European seabass. Rinse the hardware after every trip like any other saltwater lure.
What rod and line?
Moderate action with a forgiving tip, braid to a fluorocarbon or mono leader. Avoid heavy fluorocarbon straight through; it sinks and fights the bait's float.
Why are some sizes offered in fewer colors?
Fishus doesn't produce every colorway in every size. The selector shows what's actually available.

The DaHo Reverse Latch Threading Needle was developed in collaboration with Jerry Brown, a pioneer in hollow spectra fishing line technology. Unlike traditional latch needles adapted from fabric knitting machines β which must be pushed into hollow spectra and often damage the line's fibers when the latch opens β the DaHo Reverse Latch Needle is designed to be pulled through the line, keeping the latch closed by the line's internal pressure. This is the only tool on the market that uses the latch mechanism as it was originally designed to function.
The reverse latch design also allows the latch to open and release the held line when needed β a critical capability for loop creation and splicing techniques where a line must be released by the tool while threaded through another line. Standard loop splicing needles cannot do this. Attached to DaHo's standard 6" needle body, the Reverse Latch Needle also allows longer loops and splices than the old short latch needles permitted.
Key Features
- Pull-through latch design β latch stays closed under line pressure, protecting hollow spectra fibers
- Releasable latch β opens to release held line mid-splice when needed
- 6" needle body β enables longer loops and splices than traditional latch needles
- Latch is always the trailing end β correct orientation for pull-through use
- 3 sizes available β Small, Medium, and Large covering 60# to 300# spectra
- Sold individually

The Megabass Great Hunting Humpback is an ideal to explore new streams where trout of all sizes roam. Its fast-sink tuning and tail weighting power smooth casts, flickering falls and stable swimming through everything the toughest mountain streams can bring.The Great Hunting Humpback'sΒ heavy tail-weighting also generates a wriggling, falling action to coax bites out of pools and allow for range adjustment along deep cut banks. andΒ its bigger 51mm and 64mm lengths, have a tall body that generates outsized flash at every retrieve speed.
Designed primarily for stable retrieves with and against current, anglers can also spice up their offering with twitches and jerks to power escape action that attract reaction bites from veteran trophies. In swifter streams and deeper pools, these lures show their true power by reaching depth quicker than conventional minnows and permitting a high degree of range control. If your targets are chasingΒ the GH64 orΒ GH51 without biting, try downsizing to the smaller GH46 size and/or speeding up your retrieve and twitch action.
