Thread: Snapper jigs?

Two things differ though to the standard lure presentation that a lot of us use up here. 1: Hook presentation. All my lures the hook is presented at the bottom, not the top. Not saying it won't work though.
2: Leader tie off point. For drift casting all my lures tie off on the nose of the jighead. I note that all lures presented in the first picture tie off on the top centre of the jighead. Not sure how well they will present. Only one way to find out.
The second picture, all lures look like light weight surface cast and retrieve. Will work on Kahawai for sure, possibly Trevally too. Snapper, not so much. Be fun trying though.

That's interesting. All of my jig heads are hook up and tied off at the top of the head like pictured above. Mostly use Berkley Nitro. Hook up makes it far less likely to snag the bottom IMO.

Yeah, you're quite right. I had a senior moment. Seems to happen more often now. After posting I went into the shed and checked, thought you dumb arse. I use Berkley too.

Pile of slug-gos on the way!!
