How to Catch Snapper on Jigs

It seemed like magic when we started catching snapper on metal lures such as Lethal Lures and Grim Reapers in the mid-1980s. A lot has happened since then, especially following the introduction of braid, and now we have metal jigs in all sorts of shapes, colours and weights to suit all situations. The most common metal jigs include microjigs, butterfly jigs, slow-pitch jigs, knife jigs, and slowjigs. 

Microjigs

No keen lure fisher should be without a selection of microjigs, which typically weigh around 7-35g. Ideally, a well-designed microjig should appear to be like a square of chocolate to us; in spite of its small size, if it appears especially yummy it’s impossible to resist, no matter what the size of the consumer!
