Tide Rite R455 Blackfish Snafu Rig

Tide Rite R455 Blackfish SNAFU Rig

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.

“Monster white chins (Blackfish/Tautog) take a shine to these rigs”
