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.

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.  This fluke style bait is like the regular flukes but on a whole other level.

8 inch (4 pack)

• NORMAL material: SALT 5% (36.5g)
• HEAVY WEIGHT material: SALT 65% (41.0g)
• HOOK SIZE: # 6/0 OFFSET HOOK

6 inch (6 pack)

• NORMAL material: SALT 10% (16.0g)
• HEAVY WEIGHT material: SALT 75% (17.0g)
• HOOK SIZE: # 4/0 OFFSET HOOK

5 inch (6 pack)

• NORMAL material: SALT 10% (9.8g)
• HEAVY WEIGHT material: SALT 75% (11.3g)
• HOOK SIZE: # 3/0 OFFSET HOOK

4 inch (8 pack)

• NORMAL material: SALT 5% (3.7g)
• HOOK SIZE: # 1/0 OFFSET HOOK

The Deps Sakamata Shad 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 Sumo 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.  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. 

Submission Jigs The Sumo comes in 20g, 40g, and 60g.

All jigs feature BKK assist hooks with UV tassels and heavy duty split rings.

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. It’s the ultimate dying baitfish imitator, and greedy fish won’t be able to resist.

Submission Jigs Mercenary comes in 20g, 40g, and 60g.

All jigs feature BKK assist hooks with UV tassels and heavy duty split rings.

Jig was renamed to Mercenary in March of 2024.

Pitbull Tackle Braided Line Cutter 2.0

- For Cutting Braided Fishing Line, Monofilament, and Flourocarbon -

These cutters are designed to do one thing exceptionally well; cut braided line. These are the last line cutters you will ever need, period.

Meticulously designed and tested for surgical precision, these braided line cutters are the most precise and efficient cutters on the market. The Pitbull Tackle Braided Line Cutter 2.0 was originally designed to be the best braid cutter on the market, earning 10/10 in the Performance Category on Tackle Tour's Review of the product.

Many anglers see any regular pair of line cutting scissors and assume they'll do just fine, but that's just not the case. So many anglers have been plagued by frustration while dealing with braided lines as they have a tendency to kink and fray around each cut, especially in tight areas around knots and connections. Those troubles are a thing of the past as the Pitbull Tackle Braided Line Cutter 2.0 offers unparalleled cutting ability. The serrated edge design was created to slice through braid effortlessly, keeping a clean, fray-less edge on each cut of braid with no tension applied to the line. Gone are the days of your old cutters mashing the braid several times before finally slicing through. The Pitbull Tackle Braided Line Cutter 2.0 requires NO line tension while cutting braid giving you the cleanest and most precise cut the first time. With these braided line cutters you'll be able to produce smooth connections to leaders, swivels, split rings, hooks, lures etc...

All sorts of features have been included with these cutters to create the simplest, most efficient cutting tool on the market. The spring loaded handle allows for smooth repeated cuts while the locking clip lets any angler store the cutters safely and securely. In addition to all of these features these cutters are engineered with high-quality stainless steel which delivers superb corrosion resistance in both freshwater and saltwater.

Version 2.0
- See the Improvements on the 2.0 Version -

The Pitbull Tackle Braided Line Cutter 2.0 offers even more functionality than it's predecessor. The cutting edges and overall design of the cutter remains completely unchanged, but an integrated Monofilament/Flourocarbon Cutter was added at the base of the cutting blades as well as a lanyard attachment for safely securing your cutters. By adding the mono/flouro cutting area on each blade, the longevity of each cutter is greatly increased as repeated cuts with non-braided lines over time will dull the serrated cutting edge and diminish the effectiveness of the blades. The lanyard attachment is also a new addition as it allows any user to secure their cutter to a boat, backpack, line counter, or even themselves.

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 — which must be pushed into hollow spectra and often damage the line's fibers when the latch opens — 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 — 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 — latch stays closed under line pressure, protecting hollow spectra fibers
• Releasable latch — opens to release held line mid-splice when needed
• 6" needle body — enables longer loops and splices than traditional latch needles
• Latch is always the trailing end — correct orientation for pull-through use
• 3 sizes available — 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's heavy tail-weighting also generates a wriggling, falling action to coax bites out of pools and allow for range adjustment along deep cut banks. and 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 chasing  the GH64 or GH51 without biting, try downsizing to the smaller GH46 size and/or speeding up your retrieve and twitch action.

Versatile Yo-Yo Technique

The DW-1 Yo-Yo excels with the classic yo-yo retrieve. Drop the iron down to the desired depth or all the way to the bottom, then retrieve with a quick, steady winding pace that creates an erratic swimming motion. The hybrid design gets down efficiently, maintains proper action across varying depths, and adapts to different current conditions. The balanced weight creates the darting, flashing action that triggers reaction strikes from yellowtail, calico bass, white seabass, and other deep-holding gamefish.

Built for Versatile Deep-Water Success

Whether you're targeting yellowtail on offshore banks and high spots, working for calico bass around kelp and rocks, fishing for white seabass on deep reefs, pursuing rockfish and lingcod on vertical structure, or yo-yo fishing across multiple depths in a single trip, the DW-1 delivers consistent results. The hybrid design makes it an excellent choice for anglers who want one reliable yo-yo iron that handles both moderate and deep-water fishing effectively.
