Re: snatcher hooks
I've never noticed a difference from a normal hook.

Re: snatcher hooks
They work.... Just as good as a normal hook the ready rigged packs are convenient tho
If I'm not fishing, I'd rather be fishing!

Re: snatcher hooks
Haven't really tested them out properly but have caught a few fish on them. I don't see them reducing your catch rate but there is a very distinct possibility they could increase it.

Re: snatcher hooks
I have used them many times. My first double headed snapper was on a snapper snatcher so they will always be part of the fishing arsenal.

Re: snatcher hooks
Never tried them myself but have had good success with poppers in the surf, I suppose if you lost your bait you'll have a better chance than a bare hook.

Re: snatcher hooks
They seem to work quite well offshore...
I've used similar ones (actually larger-sized sabiki rigs) on a couple of trips and have caught pinkies, gurnard, flatties, barber perch and arrow squid!
The advantage is that you don't need bait and don't end up stinking like a mermaid's armpit at the end of the day.
Cheers,
Mike.
