Choosing colour isn’t about picking your favourite. It’s about the water in front of you.

Dirty or murky water: Start bright, then add a darker based Candy for stronger contrast.

Clear water: Choose flash, sparkle and natural tones.

Low light, dawn, dusk or depth: Reach for glow.

These are the 25 colours currently available from our Snapper Candy stockists across New Zealand.

Save this guide for your next tackle store visit. If you’re still unsure, ask the team in store or flick us a message.

Build your bait for the conditions.

Melon isn’t just a pretty colour. It’s built around contrast.

It’s one of those combinations that works across a surprisingly wide range of conditions.

In shallow, tannin-stained harbour water, the dark green gives you a strong base, while the white and pink create contrast and separation.

In dirty water, pair it with a bright UV Candy. Instead of bright + bright, you get visibility + contrast, helping the rig stand out without becoming one solid block of colour.

When the water cleans up, pair Melon with a highly reflective baitfish colour for flash, pattern and a more natural presentation.

The black spots break up the solid colours, while the gold glitter catches available light as your rig moves.

Melon is a seriously versatile option. 🎣

Different anglers. Different spots. Different conditions.🔥

One thing we never get tired of seeing is Snapper Candy getting put to work around NZ 🇳🇿 & AUS🇦🇺

From the beach to the rocks, boats and drones, there’s no single setup for every session. It’s about choosing the right visibility, contrast and presentation for the conditions in front of you.

Bright UV. Glow. Flash. Contrast. Subtle.

Then let the fish do the talking.

Got a Snapper Candy catch sitting in your camera roll? Send it through. We’d love to feature it 🎣🍭

PINK SNAKE CHANGES UNDERWATER.

Its soft red and pink tones create colour and contrast while the light allows. As those warmer tones weaken underwater, the profile changes.

Then the silver baitfish scale pattern takes over another job, throwing off short flashes as the bait rolls and moves.

What you pair it with changes the whole presentation.

Bright for added visibility.
Dark for stronger contrast.
Glow for depth and low light.
Stealth near the hook for a more refined finish.

Pink Snake is a strong option in daylight, shallow to mid-depth water, and clear to lightly coloured conditions where colour and reflective flash can work together.

Not a magic colour.

A layered mix of colour, contrast and flash designed to help your bait get noticed.

Shop the full range online, or visit one of our stockists and see Pink Snake up close for yourself.

One of the most overlooked parts of a Snapper Candy rig…

…is also one of the most important.

Silicone rig tubing isn’t there by accident.

It keeps your Snapper Candys locked in the strike zone above the hook, helping prevent them from sliding or floating up your trace.

It also helps secure your bait and maintain the presentation you intended.

Small detail. Big purpose.

Shop our silicone rig tubing online or find it in selected stores now.

Every cue around your bait plays a different role underwater.

Introducing our new Rattle Candy range, available online in four handcrafted mixed colourways, each option purpose built for different conditions.

As your rig moves, the internal rattle creates intermittent sound and vibration, adding another element anglers can use when building their bait presentation.

Another tool for your rig. Another option for changing conditions.

Different cues. More options. Match the Candy to your conditions.

Not every fishing mission starts on the beach.

Sometimes it starts at home. Learning, planning, tying rigs together, and putting in the effort before the first cast or drone drop.

That’s exactly what the Stilwell family did.

They took their new drone out for just the second time in the middle of winter in Tasman Bay, at a time of year when many anglers wouldn’t expect this.

The result?

A memorable fish and proof that preparation can pay off.

“Did our research and put some rigs together with the family at home and it all came together. Second time out.”

We love seeing stories like this. Fishing is about more than the catch. It’s about learning new skills, spending time together, and creating memories along the way.

Thanks for sharing your success with us. We love to see all of your catches!

Your rig doesn’t always need more bulk. Sometimes it just needs better definition.

Snapper Candy Sprinkles are a simple way to add contrast, shape and control to your bait presentation.

Use them to create a visual target around your hook, build extra silhouette into your rig, or space your Snapper Candy attractors exactly where you want them, all without adding unnecessary bulk.

Sprinkles can be used to:

• Add contrast and visibility around your bait
• Build extra shape and silhouette into your rig
• Space your Snapper Candy attractors exactly where you want them
• Act as stopper beads on pulley rigs
• Mix and match colours to suit the conditions you’re fishing

Available in four colours:

🟡 High Vis Yellow
🟠 High Vis Orange
🩷 Pink Glow
🔵 Blue Glow

Or grab the Sprinkles Bundle and get all four colours in one pack, ready for any conditions.

Small addition. More options. Better bait presentation.

Build the bait. Fish the conditions.
