Rigging Snapper Candy UV Beads is simple but deadly effective. Slide one or more beads onto your trace above the hook, either on their own or paired with bait, to create an irresistible combo of flash and movement. Make sure you add rig tubing to keep your candys in the strike zone

For surfcasting or straylining, the beads add subtle lift that keeps your bait just off the seabed and in prime strike territory.

On pulley, dropper, or flasher rigs, they act as visual triggers that mimic wounded prey, drawing snapper in even when your bait is sitting still.

Mix and match colours for contrast, or stack them for extra bling because when it comes to snapper, a little flash goes a long way.

Use Snapper Candys in pairs or mix colours to create high-contrast flashes that stand out even more. Take our snapper candy quiz for helpful recommendations of which colours to use based on your conditions.

Snapper Candy UV Beads aren’t just tackle they’re science in disguise.

By scattering UV light deep in the water column and lifting your bait just above the seabed, they mimic the flash of wounded prey and keep your offering looking alive and irresistible. match your rigs to your conditions and watch the results follow.
