The Black Magic Snapper Whacker Flasher Rig is a premium, pre-tied paternoster rig designed, developed, and hand-rigged in New Zealand. While Black Magic's renowned "Snatcher" series features self-hooking recurve (circle) hooks, the "Whacker" series is specifically crafted with super-sharp, suicide-style C Point® hooks. This makes it the ideal rig for anglers who prefer to actively feel the bite and physically strike to set the hook.

Each rig incorporates two flies tied with extreme UV-reactive materials and soft Japanese lumo beads that glow brightly. These act as a powerful beacon, attracting fish in deep water, low light conditions, or during night fishing. Built tough on heavy-duty 80lb Black Magic Tough Trace, this rig provides the serious abrasion resistance needed to haul up double-headers of big Snapper or withstand encounters with rough reef structures and toothy bycatch.

To use, simply tie your mainline to the top swivel, attach a sinker to the bottom loop, and drop it down. While highly effective on its own, adding a small triangle of bait (such as squid or skipjack) creates an irresistible scent-and-sight combination.

• C Point® Hooks (5/0): Premium high-carbon steel suicide/octopus hooks featuring three micro-cutting edges for unmatched penetration on bony-jawed fish. Coated for extreme rust resistance.

• Heavy-Duty Trace: Rigged on 80lb Black Magic Tough Trace to easily resist abrasion from sharp teeth and jagged rocks.

• High Visibility Lumo & UV: Incorporates UV-reactive fibres and soft Japanese lumo beads that attract fish from a distance in deep or murky water.

• Premium Hardware: Finished with a high-strength 15kg Black Magic barrel swivel at the top to prevent mainline twist.

• Versatile Application: Highly effective whether you are fishing from a boat, wharf, beach, or rocks.
