Grouper And Snapper Rigs

Grouper and snapper rigs consist of three to five foot monofilament leaders with a hook on one end and a swivel on the other. Grouper rigs have heavier and longer leaders with larger hooks than the snapper rigs.

These rigs are used with an egg tungsten fishing sinker that can slide up and down the angler’s line. Bottom fishing straight down with these rigs is difficult in deep water. As the rig goes to the bottom, the weight of the tungsten fishing sinker and relative buoyancy of the bait results in some very twisted lines. The tungsten fishing weight heads for the bottom and slides up the line leaving the bait behind to twist and turn. These rigs do have a place in deep water though. In a current situation, a slower descent will stop the tangles because the current keeps the bait and hook out away from the tungsten fishing sinker on the way down. Even in a no current situation, these rigs can work well with live bait. The live bait swims away from the tungsten weight sinker, and a slow descent can again get the bait to the bottom without a tangle. Many times large grouper and red or mutton snapper are leader shy. Chicken rigs make them wary and afraid to bite. Often a very long leader with an egg tungsten fishing sinker and a live bait can entice a bite from a bigger fish.

Tungsten fishing sinker can drop down the deep ocean and in enhance the opportunity to catch grouper and snapper, meanwhile, tungsten sinker is a high-density metal, it ensure the heavier weight with small volume.
