Flasher Rigs/ Feather / Fly /Catchers Or Snapper Snatchers are a great setup to target Snapper and other fish species. The Rig comes pre-made or rigged from various different retailers. The Flasher Rig is like a Paternoster type rig but it has an original look to the fishing rig. It has a lure or fly built into the hooks enabling you to use the rig as a lure as well as a bait rig. The lure in the rig does ok but its recommended you bait them up for maximum efficiency, unless fishing in the surf. There truly are many fish you can catch on a Snapper Snatcher. They are also a very handy Offshore and Inshore fishing rig. The Flasher rig is a hot little number and is rated very highly. I have previously been a fan of Black Magic’s Snapper Catchers but lately I have moved over to Reedy’s Rigz Snapper” PinkBlitz” as they seem to fish rather well and are a decent price. You can also try Mustard Rigs, but in various states of Australia you will need to cut one hook off because it’s against the law to fish more then two hooks. Its also worth noting that the Flasher Rigs “flasher” are awesome in the Surf. The flasher lure really works a treat and lures the fish such as Salmon or Tailor just to name a few, in the surf. The flasher works much like a surf popper. I would definitely have a Snapper Snatcher Flasher Rig in my tackle bag.
