Quick take
A slim 120-gram saltwater jig with lifelike colors for vertical jigging and shore casting.
The Shimano Current Sniper Jig in Candy Iwashi weighs 4 1/4 ounces and measures about 4 7/8 inches, a slim profile for anglers who cast from shore or a boat and also jig vertically over structure. Its body is built to reach fish suspended in the water column or holding near the bottom, which suits saltwater trips as well as bass fishing.

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
