The only thing more exciting than seeing a big striper blast a topwater plug out of the water is actually hooking that bass. A better strike-to-hook-up ratio is just one of the features of the new striper-focused lure from Shimano, the Coltsniper Splash Walk.
Shimano’s Coltsniper line of lures consists of several metal and hard-plastic designs, including the Coltsniper Jerk, Shimano’s souped-up take on the classic minnow plug, with features like an internal weight-transfer system for casting further and through-wire construction to holdup to big bass. The Splash Walk seeks to do the same for the spook-style topwater.
Top 4 Bluefish Lures
Metal Lures
Metal jigs are a go-to bluefish lure. The most recognized styles for these lures are Kastmasters, Deadly Dicks, Hopkins, diamond jigs, and spoons. These heavier lures can cut through a strong wind and are great in tough or good weather.
Metal lures are durable, and their solid metal bodies can take a beating from bluefish. They can be skipped along the water’s surface on a clear day or in a blitz. They can also be fished below the surface with incremental twitches and pauses to produce more action, or they can be jigged off the bottom. These lures are also great for surfcasting, especially the larger lures, because of how far they can be thrown in inclement weather.
