Featuring a sand eel-like slim shape design; Shimano's new Coltsniper sinking stickbaits offer exceptional casting distance from the tackle makers unique Propulsion Weight Transfer System. By allowing the internal weight to slide back during the cast; and then spring forward when the lure hits the water; anglers will notice casting distance increasing by up 22-percent over similar weight and length lures. Ideal for chasing after calico bass and stripers; the slow-sinking Coltsniper stickbaits have a wide slide swim action when retrieved. They feature chemical finish treble hooks mid-body and at the tail. From an angling perspective; every individual who has owned and enjoyed using Shimano tackle has a reason to thank a Japanese visionary named Shozaburo Shimano; who in 1921 declared “I aim to make Shimano's products the best in Kansai; then the best in Japan; and finally the best in the world." For over 80 years; Shimano has concentrated on precision engineering; one step at a time. Creating the most innovative products and processes you can hold in your hand today.
