The original. Still one of the best.
The Black Magic Snapper Whacker Flasher Rig is a proven fish-catcher, hand rigged in New Zealand for over 25 years. Designed to maximise hook-up rates and attract fish in all conditions, this rig combines quality components with high-visibility materials to consistently deliver results.
Built as a paternoster rig with two flies, it features C Point hooks for superior penetration, tough 80lb trace for strength, and soft lumo beads to enhance attraction — especially in deeper water or low light.
Add a small strip of bait and you’ve got the best of both worlds: bait + lure working together.
Drop it down… and get ready.
