Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
The Sniper Pre-Rigged is a sinking trolling lure designed for offshore game fishing in New Zealand waters. Deploy it in your trolling spread at speeds up to 12 knots; the weighted bullet head and mirrored finish keep it tracking deep and stable even in rough seas.
Work it behind the boat on heavy tackle paired with quality reels and braided mainline to handle the lure's solid construction and the strike power of large pelagics.
This lure excels when targeting Tuna, Marlin, and Kingfish. The pre-rigged leader and heavy-duty hooks are ready to fish straight from the pack, eliminating rigging time.
Vary your trolling pattern and lure position in the spread to find the strike zone, and maintain steady speed to maximise the mirrored flash that triggers aggressive takes.
