Mastering Snapper Rigs: Proven Setups for Every Condition

[@Side85Winder]

You are totally under rated on YT. I been taught fishing by my dad who started in the 60's in PPB and this is exactly how we rig everything. Lumo is a newer addition thanks to you, I also add the kohga skirt to bling it up a little above the lumo bead. Its just basic good fishing advice simple and easy get the job done. The your sliding sinker rig is usally called a labled a western port rig in the south, there are plastic slider clips which i dislike. I do love using a snap swivel for the sinker, this allows me to change bomb sinkers with the clip instantly. If i need a dropper length for the sinker a double overhand knot at both ends takes 30 seconds to make and little more to loop and clip on. A skiner sliding rig is more of a bean sinker above the swivel attached directly to the mainline. We use that for more bottom feeder species like whiting where you want to be hard on the bottom. Paternoster rigs go all right as well but i find are better if your on a drift for exploring. You can weave a single line into the dropper loop and finishing with a uni if you want that natural single strand presentation.

Thank you for your kind words and the extra info. Good luck with your fishing adventures.

@ShannonsFishing i highly recommend adding a kohga skirt to the snelled hooks. So far i have used pink, orange, and green. I am still yet to try red but i am sure it will be good too. All have gotten plenty of bites, the best fish on a pink followed by orange. My single hook western port rigs have flashabou bound to them. I really think it helps attract fish and helps them to find your bait. Black magic sell a lot of these kohga style singles and reedy's rigs flashabou hooks. There not hard to make your self and i can get my own hooks for ~$0.20 each saving a lot of money. Love your content i share with others to help them as well because its exactly how i rig as well.

Hi Shannon, I hope you are enjoying Northern Qld and doing well mate! Great video as always.

[@ShannonsFishing]

Thanks John I do like it up here Im just waiting for some decent weather to get out. Still slaying the Jew and Reds on the Jetski?

[@JohnCanFishTV]

@ShannonsFishing I now target pearlies & tuskies in the warmer months and will be switching back to Jews and snaps in the cooler months. The weather has been pretty crap lately.

[@buzzbladz7142]

Explained well, thanks for the tips, subbed👍

[@ShannonsFishing]

Thank you mate.

[@mattdebritt8441]

Nice one mate. Think of us poor buggers down south with the traffic instead of the open waters of the reef. "...take up lawn bowls..." 🤣

[@ShannonsFishing]

Thanks Matt. I don't understand why you went back to the Gold Coast.

[@mendoza4669]

Thanks for the tips they are really appreciated 👌

[@ShannonsFishing]

You are very welcome mate.

Hey Shannon, thanks for the great videos. Caught some solid snapper and by catch tuskies through your videos. do you ever find that using your patenoster rigs that the meter of leader that goes to the hook gets wrapped around the main line? Thanks!

[@ShannonsFishing]

Its great to here some of the vids are helping, that rig does tangle if you drop it to the bottom fast, use a slow steady drop and the rig won't tangle. Good luck with your fishing adventures mate.
