How to work it
The Sniper Jet is a trolled lure - deploy it in the shotgun or short rigger position and maintain trolling speeds up to 12 knots.
Its jetted-bullet head creates a bubble trail that triggers strikes from pelagic predators, while the solid lead insert keeps the lure tracking true and stable even in rough offshore conditions.
The mirrored finish flashes like fleeing baitfish to attract sharp-eyed tuna, marlin, and kingfish. Set the lure and let it run; its balanced design requires no adjustment once deployed.
