Hapuka rig 16/0 flasher hooks, two stainless steel circle hooks

Meet the Hapuka Rig 16/0 Flasher Hooks — a purpose-built bottom rig designed for serious deepwater encounters. Featuring two stainless steel circle hooks on a single, robust rig, it’s engineered to maximize bites from big hapuka, kingfish, and other bottom-dwellers when you’re fishing offshore.

Every rig comes with a 200 lb test trace and heavy-duty crimps, ensuring you can pull from deep water and through strong currents without failure. The included flashers add visual appeal and vibration, triggering strikes as the fish navigate toward the lure and bait. Pre-made and ready to fish straight from the packet — simply attach to your main line, bait the hooks, and drop to depth.

• Two stainless steel circle hooks sized 16/0 per rig for double-hooks coverage and secure, clean hook-ups.
• 200 lb test trace provides abrasion resistance and the backbone you need for stubborn deepwater species.
• Heavy-duty crimps ensure the rig remains intact under heavy loads and strong currents.
• Pre-made rig saves setup time on deck — you’re ready to fish as soon as you open the package.
• Attractive flashers attract and entice deepwater fish, increasing your chances of an early strike.
• Versatile for hapuka bottom fishing and other large offshore targets; pair with your preferred bait for best results.

Why this rig stands out: the combination of two circle hooks, a stout 200 lb trace, and pre-made convenience creates a reliable, user-friendly setup for offshore anglers chasing big bottom-dwellers. The circle hook design promotes solid, conservative hook-ups with minimized gut hooking, which matters when you’re deep offshore and time on the water is precious.

Ideal scenarios: - Offshore expeditions targeting hapuka, halibut, or large cod where big hook exposure is beneficial. - Bottom-door fishing or deepwater night sessions where the flashers’ attraction can draw curious giants to the bait. - Charter trips where multiple anglers need ready-to-fish rigs without knot-tying on deck.

Tip: pair with chunk bait or whole pieces of fish to maximize lure appeal, and always inspect your crimps and trace after each trip to ensure continued reliability.
