Incredibly popular for catching snapper in NZ, the 'Snapper Snatcher', 'Snapper McPilly' and 'Bleeding Pilchard' rigs are also effective in Australian waters. All of the rigs are a super strong version of the paternoster rig with flasher flies tied onto strong re-curve and octopus style hooks. All of the rig bodies consist of 80lb Tough trace with a heavy swivel at the top. All that is left for the angler to do is tie a knot to the mainline and secure a sinker to the bottom. Once this is done simply spike each hook with some bait, usually not much bait is required, and commence fishing.
