A
tandem hook rig designed to hold big baits (such as large strip baits
and whole squid) neatly and firmly when fishing for snapper, mulloway
and other large fish. The two opposed single hooks give great hookup
power -- especially since we use super sharp Mustad Big Red hooks,
equipped with Mustad's unique Ultra Point.
The
Mustad Big Red Snapper Rig is a fixed hook rig. Trace length is 1.5
metres . The hooks are expertly snelled on Mustad's own Thor 10X super
abrasion resistant monofilament.

BIG RED SNAPPER RIG
by David Harrigan
Are two hooks better than one? In many cases, yes. When the hooks are
rigged and spaced so that they work independently, they can give an
improved hookup rate compared to a big single hook.
That's
the principle behind Mustad's Big Red Snapper Rig, a special two-hook
rig designed for big baits. Two Mustad chemically sharpened Ultra Point
Big Red hooks are snelled on a trace a set distance apart. This makes
rigging easy for large strip baits, whole squid, octopus legs and other
big baits for snapper, mulloway and other large target fish.
Many
anglers find this a neater and better way to rig large natural baits
than a big single hook. And neat baits get more bites and better
hookups. The Mustad Big Red Snapper Rig uses fixed (not sliding) hooks of
uniform size. This type of rig has proved popular in the southern
states for snapper and mulloway anglers. But it has application just
about everywhere, so anglers in other areas will certainly be
interested.
The Mustad Big Red Snapper Rig comes packaged in a
distinctive yellow header card pack in the Mustad Ultra Point style,
with three rigs per pack. Illustrated baiting instructions are
provided. Hook sizes range from 3/0 to 8/0.
