Rigging for Grouper and Snapper



These rigs are most effective for catching any fish but especially those that live on the bottom.




If you look at the first photo you will see me holding two pieces of titanium wire that is flexible. You can bend the wire without being concerned that it will break.

The rig is made with a 5/0 circle hook and titanium wire attached to a treble hook. I catch 90% of my fish on the treble hook.

The length of the wire is determined by the bait that you are attaching it to. Shorter wire for shorter baits and of course longer wire for longer baits. The photos show roughly how far to place the treble hook from the tail of the bait.

After you cut the wire to length to install the hooks you must use a barrel sleeve and crimp it onto the wire to secure the hooks.
