The 3rd rig would work best because snelling a recurve hook increases your hook up rate. Believe it or not, if you just snelled one hook it would work better. From new Zealand where we have had 50 years experience using recurve, ir circle hooks
Really? I will have to check that out! I was under the impression the two hook would work better because Red Snapper tend to strike the bait and if they missed the hook while chomping on it the more hooks the better the chance it'll get hooked. I'll have to do some experimentation, thanks for the comment!!!
@@NickeeGee the reason it works is that its the only rig where the hook will lay.properly as its snelled. If you snelled a single hook your hook up rate will be higher. The other hook gets in the way. A small bait on a single circle hook with the point sticking well clear rigged correctly will astound you. Good luck
Thanks for commenting! I like the Carolina rig because if the fish breaks you off, there's better chance your sinker comes back with you. With a knocker rig if you break off, you lose your entire rig.
@@NickeeGeeObviously for offshore fishing on a boat.. A leader that heavy for inshore snapper fishing; you wont catch a thing.. Snappers have great eyesight
