Snapper Rigs Snatchers or Flasher Fishing Pre Rigged on a Paternoster Dropper Rig.

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  Snapper Catchers but lately I have moved over to Reedy’s Rigs Snapper ” SupaLumo” 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 than 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 an Ultra Rig in my tackle bag.

Flasher Rigs – Best suited for fishing in Bays, Rivers, Shallow watered reefs, Deep sea fishing, fast moving currents, land based (e.g. Off a pier), off the beach/surf fishing, last but not least if you’re fishing from your boat drop them straight down, don’t cast them.

Snell or Twin Hook Fishing Rigs can either be rigged yourself, or you can purchase them online or through your local tackle shop. To rig them you will need a leader to suit the size of the fish you are targeting.  Cut the leader and Snell your rig.  Its best you use suicide hooks as Snell circles hooks can defeat the purpose of what the circle hook was designed for.  I use Mustard “Big reds”, otherwise Beak Octopus hooks work very well too.  Penn had a great range when rigging yourself and Reedy’s Rigs have great PRE made Snell Suicide Hook PRE Tied on a tough trace called Reedy’s “Slack Pack”.  These are sold in packs of 5 rigs of hooks Online through Snapper Fishing Tackle and are fantastic for big Snapper.  I recently caught a nice 20lb (ca. 9 kg) fish on this rig which is now mounted on my wall.  Tying a fishing rig is a simple process but can also be annoying at times. It is always a great idea to have a few Pre rigged before you head out fishing.  Below is a simple video on how to rig them and i also included links to Online shops I recommend buying from which are handy if your lazy like me and just want to tie on a rig to your main line and start fishing.

 Paternoster Rigs are fishing rigs just like the Snapper Snatchers but without the flasher or feather fly.  The Rig is normally rigged with two hooks or can have just one.  The latest trend for these Paternoster Rigs is to rig them with circle hooks, which fish well.  The type of hooks i use for hand rigging when it comes to circle’s is Reedy’s 187 Suicide Hooks from Here.   i don’t use owners or gamakatsu octopus any more.
