Snag Rig???

[netkeeper]

What snag rig do you find most effective for the snag & drop? Thanks

[eelball]

Its just a weighted treble. Not sure why everyone calls it a snag rig.

[netkeeper]

I've seen some people use an egg sinker ahead of a leadered trebble.

[eelball]

Yea, that can cause problems. Just get a few weighted trebles. Snag them and then lem swim. I click the baitrunner on, and let the go a bit. I feel the line as theyre taking little bits of line. you'll feel them get eatin, and then a big rip of line. They don't care how big the snagger is. I was using a giant one yesterday and caught several bass with it before a blue ate it.

For peanut bunker, use the egg sinker above (12-18") an unweighted treble. That way, the little bunker can still swim around in a frantic manner, without being buried in the sand.

For larger bunker, you can use the weighted trebles.

I take 3 trebles, snell them inline about 1 foot apart and put a 2oz sinker on a dropper loop on the very bottom, on a spinner that has 30# braid on it.

It casts REALLY far (great for when the school moves "out of reach") and I hook up on at least 1 bunker pretty much every cast. If they are thick I'll hook 2.

The rig can be messy though. It snags up on itself a lot and can be difficult to get untangled when you first take it out. It's also dangerous in the hands of someone who can't cast well, so choose wisely when you give it to someone to use on the boat.

Works great though. Far better than any weighted treble I've used.

Talk about a mess JoeyZac...but hey if it works for ya....have at it. Just a weighted treble for us....tied direct....or a small shot of wire when the yellow eyes are around.

just a weighted treble hook worked for me yesterday just cast it out and rip it in. We were not just snag and dropping but bringing them in and livelining them so we would not lose the trebles to the blues.

[JoeyZac]

Do most people actually do "snag and drop"?

I always snag and then put it on a different hook, hooked exactly how I want it, not randomly "snagged".

Maybe that's my problem?

[JAT11]

I snag & drop on every school....ya just never know if there's bass on em, but most times you can tell if the bunker are "bothered" by some predator. If your just looking for bait....then bring em in. I can usually tell when I have the bunker snagged in the tail as well...I'll bring that in and re-hook it to my liking on the snag rig.

[dodulik]

We scored quite a few bass and big blues yesterday rehooking the bunker so that shouldn't be the problem.

Nobody is using circle hooks? Snag and drop is fine, but once we take a fish or 2, we switch to the circles for the boatside lip and release

[cuch]

We usually do both. We'll snag a couple and put them on weighted lines down to the bottom and then we'll snag a couple of more and leave them out there. Some days the bait on the bottom gets hit and some days its all on the snags. Yesterday all 4 fish hit the bunker on the snags.

I just use a weighted treble. When I snag one I let it swim there with the pod. I give it some line and loosen the drag a little. Works fine for me.

[fishypete]

For adult bunker I always use a weighted treble. If I'm on land I snag and drop but from the boat I usually re-rig unless you know that that there are no blues and mostly keeper bass.

I find this makes for tangles and "bleeders". Just buy afew weighted trebles, sold as "snag hooks"
