Rigs for snapper, gummy shark, etc.
From Peter Jolly
These are my rigs for snapper, gummy and other toothed sharks. Typically I use a running keeper hook setup while snapper fishing. But every now and then I will use a ganged hook rig as well, just in case a toothed shark hits the bait.
You can use a wire trace with the keeper hook rig but it is a little hard to bait up. I use about 50cms of leader to the hooks and connect to the main line with a swivel and snap swivel. (I always use ball bearing swivels and snap swivels.)
These can be either weighted or floater rigs as the picture shows. One tip is to put a bead between the 2 hooks so that if the top one is taken it does not rub on the bottom hook's knot and cut through the line.
