Pro Hunter Fanky Lures
The Fanky
The Fanky could well be the perfect snapper lure! The Target Species
weight loading and narrow profile ensures fast sinking
and reduced drag. The strong offset assist hook, octopus
skirt and lumo bead add further to the attraction. All
metal-eating species find the Fanky attractive! Larger
sizes are available to suit kingfish as well as deepwater
species such as hapuku.
Lures, Jigs, Softbaits How to Fish the Fanky -
The Fanky is best used as a jig lure close to the bottom. Using a softbait rod is fine but a
6-8kg jig rod with a baitcaster reel is even better for weights up to 120g. Braid
Drop the Fanky to the bottom but be aware that mo0st strikes happen on the drop. Once
the lure hits the bottom engage the gears and lift it a metre or so. Then start a lift and drop
action with the rod. Mix it up with a short jerky upward action as well. Keep the lure near
the bottom by releasing line as you drift. Retrieve and start again when the angle gets
excessive. Snapper will often ‘eat’ the lure - it feels just like they are biting a flesh bait. Don’t
be too quick to strike; sometimes it pays to wait a second or two.
Make sure the drag isn’t set too tightly when using braid. The Fanky is one lure that fishes
well when left unattended in the rod holder!
The Fanky comes in four colours in each
of the seven available weights. The 60g
model is one of the finest snapper jigs
currently available.
Snapper love Fanky lures! One of
many from a memorable day at
Coromandel.
