Perentie Big Reds Slide Rig – Snag-Resistant Snapper Rig Offshore

Built under the Perentie banner for one purpose: reliably targeting snapper from the boat with a tough, clean-running slide rig that reduces snagging and presents baits naturally.

The Big Reds Slide Rig is designed to let your bait slide down the mainline smoothly while keeping your hooks elevated above the bottom structure, dramatically lowering snag rates in reef, rubble, and broken ground where snapper hold. Every component is selected to handle serious pressure when big reds load up.

Why This Rig Works

• Snag-resistant design: Sinker leads the rig while hooks sit up the trace, keeping them off the bottom.
• Slide action: Bait slides down naturally along your mainline, creating a clean, unthreatening presentation.
• High strength: Durable leader, quality swivels, and reliable hooks suited to large snapper.
• Proven attraction: Octopus skirts add flash and profile without interfering with hook-up rates.

Purpose-built for snapper fishers who want a tough, tidy and dependable slide rig that stays out of the reef and stays in the fight.
