Features Rigged with Black Magic Tough Trace and two Black Magic KLT® hooks, PTFE coated for better penetration and corrosion resistance The circle style KLT® hook means you don’t need to strike when a fish takes the rig, so they will work in a rod holder while you’re fishing another rod, or even having lunch Perfect for catching Snapper, Kingie’s, Cod, Tarakihi and Gurnard Fishing Style The Snapper Snack® is best fished with a thin strip of bait to maintain the natural swimming action of the skirt. Fresh squid and thin strips of baits are a great choice. Just make sure the barbs of the hooks are well exposed. Don’t strike when you feel a fish bite, just lift your rod tip steadily and start a slow wind. Snapper Snack® rigs use inline recurve KLT® hooks which will self-hook, usually in the corner of the mouth. When you know you have a fish on, just wind in steadily and slowly. You might score a second fish while close to the bottom as Snapper Snacks® are a two hook rig and ‘double headers’ were very common during tackle testing. Tie your sinker close to the bottom hook. This will ensure that your baits are as close to the sea floor as possible. Snapper and a lot of other species feed on the bottom so having your bait close to the bottom is essential. Snapper Snack® rigs are very versatile and can be fished while anchored or on the drift. They can also be fished from the shore, as they are great for casting. Wash your Snapper Snack® rigs after using them. Although they are rigged with PTFE coated KLT® hooks which are highly rust resistant, it’s always best to wash them down to increase their lifespan. All Snapper Snack® skirts are high in UV and lumo content. If you’re fishing in deep water or at night time, try charging up the skirts with a UV torch; this will make your Snapper Snack® glow brighter and for longer period. Although Snapper Snack® rigs were designed to catch Snapper, they can catch a wide range of other species in New Zealand and Australian waters.
