    Firstly, Tony is spelt with a "Y", not an "I", unless you are talking in the female form, so Danny, I take this is just a typo on your part, as I am sure even you are not stupid enough to question my masculinity!! LOL

    Never caught a hussar yet on one!!

    Re: Snapper rigs

    Sorry about that Toniy, but seriously what I do is use the cheap knife jigs from anaconda that when on sale cost less than snapper sinkers. I don't put any bait on the knife jig and fish the paternoster rig like usual, if I lose my bait without hooking up I than jig the rig up about 20 meters, I have caught most species, you might say this gives you double the chance.

    Did you drift or anchor up with your paternoster/Octa rig?

    Re: Snapper rigs

    N Armstrong depending on the current as we're I chace snaps I use a one ball sinker directly on to a snelled rig and if ya don't know how to tie snelled rigs just use gane hooks get a berley trail goin and feed that rig back down ya trail some times u have to feed heaps of line out some times not , but a little tip when floating when u hook up try to rember how much line is on spool so when u cast put again u know what area to work more as normally that's were the school is. Well that's what works for me any way . Cheers swanny

    Don't be lulled into a false sense of security regarding paternostra rigs.........

    while they are easy to make, & will bring most of your average fish up with no problems,
    I have found that paternostra rigs will cost you the big fish, the one you didn't want to lose.......

    NOW I only use big 3 way swivels...& don't seem to lose to many big fish anymore.

    By the way, im jealous of you guys who can use an octojig as a sinker,
    where we go its 1.5lb to start, then get heavier.
