Long Casting Metal Lures

Post by Luc42 »

Looking for some advice on how to use long casting metal lures in the surf such as Shimano Colt/Current Sniper or similar type of jigs.

I need to add to my bag of tricks other than C-Rigs and Lucky Crafts so I can be versatile and catch fish in different conditions.

I’m interested in this as well. I just picked up some jerk baits used more by the east coast/nor cal guys. TBH I kinda hate the LC 110. It doesn’t cast well, has terrible stock hooks, is kinda ridiculously expensive. Yo-Zuri/Shimano/Daiwa/Rapala all have popular options used by the east coast folks that I never seen thrown here.

Also just picked up casting metals/jigs. I haven’t played around with them much but I’m pretty sure it’s just bomb it out, retrieve, pop, retrieve. Most of these don’t have a ton of action on its own unlike spoons like the croc/kastmaster
