dannyplug1 Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Was out fishing with the guys and was told that the colt out casts the sp minnow. I’d this true and is it enough to justify me scoring a few colts. And more importantly do the fish like them as well as the sp? Any comparative info would be appreciated. Thanks Charlie, king of small bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HugeDinghy Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) I don’t think they cast further. As far maybe. They also seem to have slightly different action. More roll on the wobble. Edited August 12, 2018 by HugeDinghy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40shades-of-blue Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) Coltsniper will out cast an SP from my expierence. My friend has one that I have tried. I think he has the larger sized one. It's casts like a missile.

dannyplug1 Posted August 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Anybody have any preference for the colt vs. the sniper? Of the two sizes of the sniper do you prefer one over the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGBreezy Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 I fish them both, in different sizes. The DSPM I like best is the sink version of the original size, for catching that is. All cast very well. The smaller DSPM and CS seem to really, may be a combo of weighting and perfect size match. Different action, different pug. Hardware on the CS is good right out of the box. I change out the rear trebles on both for siwash singles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikT Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Both through-wired? I assume most of the modern day saltwater plugs are but figured I’d ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatbikerjoe Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 Just fished the colt sniper this weekend. Casts a freaking mile. Jesus. Really enjoyed the plug, no fish unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 Can anyone advise how high in the water column the colt sniper swims? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alferd Packer Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) I’ve been an sp minnow fan boy but these days the colt sniper comes out of my bag earlier and more often. I’m commonly casting in a 10-15mph cross wind and the CS casts much better than the sp. i fish the slow sinking 120 both on the beach and in heavy current. You can straight retrieve slowly with a little wobble or jerk and let it sink back to the bottom. Change the hooks!!!!

Doe the Colt Sniper run deeper or shallower than the Sp Minnow. If it runs shallower, might want to compare it with the Hydro Minnow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitala383 Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 According to Shimano's website they swim at 3-5 feet deep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bigdeal Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Fishem' on a straight retrieve or as a jerkbait.....what say you. "The hungry Wolf hunts the best.... Why isn't John Moses Browning on Mt. Rushmore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had great results worked both ways.. a slow rolling straight retrieve works well at times. While a more sporadic jerkbait style retrieve with long pauses is deadly a triggering a bite other times.. in retrospect, I've probably had more action using it jerkbait style, they always seem to slam it on the pause..
