Hook a Puka Rig

Deepwater species like hapuku and bass can grow to large sizes and are available right around New Zealand and along the southern coasts of Australia. They favour reefs in up to 200m of water can be caught in shallower and deeper water.

When you’re fishing at depth, you’re less likely to feel the bite, making it near impossible to strike to hook your fish. Which is why we've used 2 x 13/0 recurve hooks , so your fish will self-hook when they swim off with your bait. Tied with strong 200lb Tough Trace, this rig is designed to handle the rough conditions of fishing at depth.
