What is a snubber and how do you rig it?
A snubber is essentially a rubber band that helps reeling in a smaller, more aggressive fish. It’s designed to act as a shock absorber, which minimizes the chance of losing a fish when reeling it in. In addition to using a snubber, using a good monofilament line also gives a needed stretch to help hold that fish on. Monofilament line gives the most stretch and a snubber compliments its ability, especially if the rod doesn’t match the type of fishing. Another ideal situation of using a snubber is when fishing deep. Fishing deep gives more elasticity to the line which will hold the fish on as well. How do you rig it? From the main line, attached a swivel and then attach the snubber, which attaches to the top of the dodger. It’s just a preference, but you can attach the snubber either above or below the dodger.
