Shimano Current Sniper Stickbaits Bullet casts. Sinking action. Shimano's answer to Japanese stickbaits. The Shimano Current Sniper Sinking Stickbait brings Shimano's Propulsion Weight Transfer System to a sinking stickbait that casts well beyond what its size suggests. Built through-wired for serious gamefish, with a tight wobble on the sink and a darting action on a sharp retrieve, the Current Sniper is the lure for working stripers, bluefish, and small tuna chasing peanut bunker and other small baitfish along the coast. Key Features Propulsion Weight Transfer System for exceptional casting distance Through-wired construction for hook security under heavy fish pressure Sinking design covers the water column from surface down to the strike zone Tight wobble on the sink, sharp dart on the retrieve Two sizes (120mm / 32g and 140mm / 54g) covering most coastal scenarios 10 proven colors covering bunker, sardine, herring, and high-vis attractor patterns Specs Sizes 120mm / 1.13 oz, 140mm / 1.91 oz Action Sinking stickbait — tight wobble, sharp dart Construction Through-wired Best For Striped bass, bluefish, small tuna Environments Surf, boat, inlets, jetties Rigging & Use Cast and count down to working depth based on what fish are showing Sharp rod twitches create the dart-and-pause action that triggers strikes Steady medium retrieve for fish chasing bait near the surface For bigger gamefish (big striper, tuna), upgrade the stock hooks to a 4X-strong replacement 120mm is the all-around sweet spot; 140mm for bigger fish on bigger bait Why We Like It Premium Japanese-style stickbaits used to cost $50+. Shimano's Current Sniper brings that casting performance and through-wired construction to a much more reasonable price point. We swap to heavier hooks if going after big stripers or tuna, but right out of the package these are a long-cast workhorse for the price. A smart pick for the angler who wants stickbait performance without the boutique price.
