Let the fish hook themselves.
The Black Magic Snapper Snatcher Recurve/Circle Hook Rig is designed to maximise hook-up rates while making fishing easier and more effective. Built around premium KL recurve hooks, fish naturally hook themselves in the corner of the mouth — meaning better hook-ups and easier releases.
Rigged with Black Magic Tough Trace and quality swivels, this setup is built tough for New Zealand conditions. The addition of soft lumo beads increases visibility in deep water or low light, helping attract more bites when it matters.
Add a small triangle of bait and you’ve got the perfect combination of scent and movement — a bait and lure in one. Often fish will strike on the drop or retrieve, so stay ready.
Simple. Effective. Deadly.
