Coltsniper jig from SHIMANO is one of standard metal jig used and loved by lots of Japanese shore anglers. Easy to use, flexibility to multiple actions.. You can make lots of ways with one of this.
Now this Coltsniper is renewed especially for big mackerel species, with Kyorin Hologram – SHIMANO’s original hologram colour, that makes natural but strong flash to turn jigs / lures to “real bait fish”.
Everything is for mackerel
As already described, one of the biggest feature of Aomono Catcher is Kyorin Hologram.
Kyorin Hologram is more like natural scale patterned hologram. This holo does not actually flash like existing lures, so it looks more like natural scales of real live baits – SHIMANO says.
This Kyorin Hologram is, because of this natural flashing, more for day game fishing I would say.
Also the hook is renewed from existing Coltsniper jig. Against single versatile hook on existing Coltsniper the new Aomon Catcher has twin hook system with anti-hookout hook, which is especially designed for “Aomono”.
* “Aomono” is a Japanese word for well running fish species with blue back, such as mackerels, kingfish, amberjack, tuna, etc.
Full of variety of action by just one metal jig
One of the reason why Japanese anglers love this Coltsniper – is its variety of action.
Jigging has lots of different jerking technique – even speed retrieving, short pitch jerk, high pitch jerk, slow jerk, long fall etc.. And this body shape swims well to those action.
At the dawn or dusk when fish are quite attractive, high speed reeling or short pitch jerk can be the right one. But if you don’t get bites from those speeding action, you can just switch your jerking to slow – long pitch jerking with the same jig.
You can try lots of different things before moving to other jigs.
Here is the swimming action movie below:
