Key features

• Easy to use – comes pre-rigged with a meter of leader – just attach it to your mainline and add some bait
• 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.
