How To Tie Snapper Rig Fishing Twin Hooks

Learn how to tie a Snell Hook for bait fishing with our simple and easy video below. This rig functions well with various leader strengths; I prefer 40lb, but 30lb to 80lb will also work depending on your catch. For instance, if you’re in an area with larger species like gummy sharks or Mulloway, you might want a stronger leader. The choice is yours. This rig is also a popular choice for targeting fish like Kingfish using live baits, such as squid.
