i am going to skyway next weekend maybe and want to do some snapper fishing. i usually use a carolina style rig but was wondering if this would work at all. or should i keep with what i am using.

one thing i learned about snappers, they have great vision, 50lb test is a little heavy for snappers, try light line and small hooks, also a rigging i like to use is a single hook with 20lb mono then a swivel then an egg weight threaded onto your mainline to allow the fish to run when he hits it, not only for the snappers but most of the time when i snapper fish something else much bigger will grab the rigging too. hope this helps


Just an average fisherman.
