Snapper Snatchers
Hi, does anyone use Snapper Snatchers ? From what I can see they are just a large fly, is that right ?
I am always looking for little projects and if the consensus is that they work then I may attempt to make some.
From what I have read they can also be used in the surf .
Does anyone have a fly vice for sale ?
Cheers .......ThomasG

Re: Snapper Snatchers
I have used snapper snatchers without muck luck, however the whiting whackers, I have caught pinkies, barracouta, cowyoung, salmon, flathead, maybe the occasional whiting.

Re: Snapper Snatchers
Even got a double header of pinkies, one legal, one just under on a whiting whacker. The next bite, got another double header, except the top knot came undone.ThomasG wrote:Haha....."Whiting Whackers" I thought you were having a lend of me, then I googled it.

Re: Snapper Snatchers
So what is the difference , Is a whiting whacker just a small snapper snatcher ?
I feel really stupid saying that.

Re: Snapper Snatchers
The size hook on the whiting whackers, is about 1/0 compared to 5/0 6/0. So the hook is smaller and they use lighter breaking strain lines as well.ThomasG wrote:So what is the difference , Is a whiting whacker just a small snapper snatcher ?

Re: Snapper Snatchers
There is always a place in my tackle box for the snapper snatcher my first 2 x 4 KG snapper came on a double header snapper snatcher a number of years back.
