Fishing Snapper Snatchers Pre Tied Rig By Reedy’s Rigz Stock for This Season
Snapper Snatchers by REEDYS RIGZ have been getting their fair share of attention by fisho’s. Lets explain what they are all about.
Snapper Snatchers are pre-tied fishing rigs. But its a Special Rig
They come in a range of sizes and colors, and they all fish two circle-style hooks, rigged on tough 60lb or 80lb leader on a paternoster arrangement. The key to the success of the rigs is the fish flasher attached to the hooks. like a saltwater fly. There is also a lumo glow bead above each hook,
Even though it is recommended that Snapper Snatchers be used in with bait, the ‘fly ’ appearance of the hooks mean that you will always have a ‘bait’ in the water.
Reedy’s rigs can be used for surf fishing also. This is one of the most popular uses for Snapper Snatchers in Australian waters. Tie the swivel at one end of the Snapper Snatcher to your main line, and attach a star sinker to the other. Boom! You’re ready to fish!.
They’re very, very effective in the surf or from the Pier. We have caught a number of Australian salmon from the surf on Snapper Snatchers, and I know that anglers who fish them more also catch other species like gummy sharks, reef fish, Mulloway and many more fish .
List of potential target species is basically endless. Any time you are fishing with bait you could increase your catch rates by using the rig .
Snapper Snatchers are best suited to fishing waters where there is a bit of current to wash the rigs around, but this season they are already proving a huge hit with Port Phillip Bay snapper, even though tidal flow in the bay is minimal. If you’re fishing for reds with your maximum four rods, it’s worth making sure at least some of them are rigged with a Snapper Snatcher for a bit of variety.
No matter whether you’re fishing from the shore or a boat, it is best to ‘sweeten’ your Snapper Snatcher hooks with a small piece of bait. A strip of squid is ideal, especially in the surf. Pass the hook through the squid strip just once, towards one end of the strip, just as you would for normal circle hooks.
Small fish fillets or pieces of cut up bait fish can also be used with Snapper Snatchers. This 2017 season, stacks of Port Phillip Bay snapper have been caught by anglers fishing with half a red rocket or silver whiting on each hook. When baiting up, it is essential to ensure the gape of the hook is not obscured with too much bait and the hook point is well clear of the bait.
Once you have your Snapper Snatcher rigged, baited and in the water, The circle hooks, are designed to hook the red in the corner of the mouth as it takes the bait and moves away. Striking at bites will only pull the hooks from the fish’s mouth, so it is important not to strike.
If holding the rod while surf fishing, don’t start fighting the fish until you’re sure the fish is well hooked. If boat fishing, put the rod in a rod holder, low to the water, then sit back and wait for the fish to hook themselves. Don’t even touch the rod until there is a strong, sustained bend in the rod and/or line is pouring from the reel. It’s a hard habit to break, but it’s important.
This season it has become apparent that a great way to fish for snapper in Port Phillip Bay is to lower your Snapper Snatcher rig directly to the bottom, beneath the boat. Presumably the rocking of the boat gives the rigs some up and down action, which attracts the fish.
It doesn’t matter whether you use your Snapper Snatchers in conjunction with a braid or mono mainline. You will get excellent hook up rates with both.
When fishing for salmon in the surf or snapper in the bays, Snapper Snatchers with Circle 5/0 hooks are about right. If you are specifically targeting gummy sharks or mulloway, go up to 7/0 hooks.
Reedy’s rigs are readily available from most tackle shops or buy them direct from here If you’re looking to add some versatility and variety to your fishing arsenal, check them out. I’m confident they’ll help you catch more fish.
