Ruby Snapper generally lives in water depths up to hundreds of meters. This fish is known for its ingenious and strength so when anglers are fishing this fish, it takes extra energy when this fish paly with fishing rod.
A rod that is suitable to use should have size 3-6 to 4-8 lbs, and even it must be adjusted with the overhead reel that has a ratio of 4 to 1. This small number ratio is chosen based on the existence of Ruby Snapper that is always at a depth of 150 to 200 meters from sea level. When dropping the bait, the rod that we use must be swung so this fish can be struck.
There is no special trick for fishing this Ruby Snapper, because generally catching the fish in the sea uses the technique that’s not much different. Jigging and bottom fishing techniques are often used as they’re very powerful to turn off the movement of Ruby Snapper.
When using jigging techniques, anglers must be able to understand the movement of currents and water depths because the habitat of these fish is located at the bottom of the rocks. The stronger the current, the more aggressive the fish will be. Using metal jig is also highly recommended when fishing this fish so the set of tackle used is easily controlled.
Besides jigging techniques, there are a lot of anglers who use the bottom fishing techniques. In this technique, anglers tend to be more relaxed when the bait is thrown into the spot where Ruby Snapper stays. The angler also just need to sit and wait until the fishing rod weighed. If such condition happens, it is certain that the bait given to this fish has been struck.
To make it easier in catching this fish, use squid bait as this kind of bait will emit a very strong fishy odor and cause Ruby Snapper to move quickly to eat the bait hanging on the hook.
