Long line tip

This was shown to me by a DOC Ranger whilst staying at Whananaki. It had caught him well over 150 snapper.... :) I Have never long-lined before ... but this looked very smart! 50cm trace of 30lb line tied onto a size 5 circle hook followed by 1 green and 1 pink fluro bead.

Then swivel at other end. The smart part is using a thin piece of very flexable Plastic Tubing to go over the Line. This prevents the numerous numbers of rigs getting tangled and keeps the line from getting kinks in it.
