Quick take
A slim 120-gram saltwater jig with lifelike colors for vertical jigging and shore casting.
This Blue Pink Shimano Current Sniper Jig matches its Candy Iwashi sibling at 4 1/4 ounces and about 4 7/8 inches, so it covers the same casting and vertical-jigging range. The slim body suits fish that are busting on the surface as well as those suspended lower in the water.
Best for
- Mackerel and pelagic species from shore or boat
- Vertical jigging busting baitfish
- Casting applications for saltwater predators
Skip if

Strengths
- Slim design allows long casts and efficient drop

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.
