I don't know what it's called but i saw a guy using it and gave it a try. i use it regularly, not just in strong currents

If i could have a full time job shooting pests i'm up for over time.
Must be hard feeling bites with a sinker 30 feet behind the hook?
yeah, probably don't feel a lot of them i guess

Using recurves or j hooks? Sorry for all the questions but new methods intrigue me
i don't know the terminology but they are the standard shape, not the odd curved shaped ones

Yea you are right Gibo it is used in strong currant usually with a running sinker and a circle hook, also good for Gurnard or sometimes we tie a long trace onto the bottom of our dropper rig.
Currant is the big thing with snapper if fishing over structure and burley back to it with floating baits for the big fellas.
Yeah mate. The sliding sinker trick is used quite a lot in the Tauranga harbour where the current can be bloody strong. I hang onto the hook/bait and let the sinker take line out, when it hits the bottom you chuck the hook/bait in and it makes it to the bottom.
Current is deffinately very importand for snapper. Without it you are lucky to have any success. It does happen though
Anyone tried eating Garfish? (Piper)
Bloody good eating if you get a few big ones. Bones come out in one go if ya roll a bottle over them.
Might give ya a bell when I am in Nelson in the next few weeks Cam. Knowing my luck the snapper will go quiet when I am home but I will give it a nudge anyway.
