Westbound Landbased Pink Snapper Rig™

Westbound Landbased Pink Snapper Rig™

A heavy-duty snelled paternoster rig built for targeting pink snapper in Perth’s metro storm conditions, designed to hold strong in big swell and rough weather.

Why This Rig Works

Fishing for pinkies in the storms means swell, wash, and constant line rubbing on sharp rocks. Weak rigs wont hold up.

The Westbound Landbased Pink Snapper Rig™ is designed to:

• Hold strong in rough weather and heavy swell
• Keep bait presented properly
• Increase hookup consistency with snelled hooks and keep the fish on in the wash before gaffing
• 50lb sinker line so that if the sinker gets snagged in the rocks, the sinker will break away before the fish

Perfect For

• Storm fishing for pink snapper
• Perth metro rock and beach fishing
• Fishing in heavy swell and rough conditions
• Targeting demersal species close to shore

A jaw hooked fish almost every time and improved landing rates in rough conditions.

Built for WA Conditions

Designed specifically for Western Australian metro waters where storm fishing for pink snapper demands strong, reliable gear.

How to bait up the rig?

The snelled Westbound Heavy Duty Square Hooks™ are smaller than what most fisherman would usually use (more like a 5/0). But because of their design, they have no issue hooking 10kg+ Pinkies. Leave the bottom hook with as much exposure as possible and make sure the top hook is firm in the bait. This technique has proven an insane hook up rate and when the fish is hooked its almost always a jaw hooked fish that isnt going to be lost when fighting the fish on the rocks.

🔒 Quality Components

All Westbound rigs are made using European, Japanese, or Korean-made tackle for strength and reliability

⚡ Bottom Line
