The SNAFU Blackfish Rig has quickly gained popularity with anglers targeting larger blackfish, cod and sea bass. With two hooks in a single crab bait, this rig really sticks the big ones.

• Specially designed to fish with large whole crabs
• Hand-tied using SAMSU size 4/0 premium hooks
• The hooks are snelled to both ends of a short piece of leader material.
• Two (2) hooks are on one Rig
• Both hooks are attached to the same crab bait
• 1 rig per pack

Basic Construction of a SNAFU Rig:

A hook is snelled to both ends of a short piece of leader material. Centered between them is a small dropper loop which allows the snafu to be married to the main leader (i.e. the piece attached to the sinker and your running line). This main leader typically has a perfection loop at the bottom holding the sinker and another little dropper loop slightly above it. That dropper is what allows the snafu to be connected via a loop-to-loop or handshake knot.
