Some fish are particular and some will go after anything. The mutton snapper loves a good grunt plug.
Mutton and mangrove snapper (along with other great bottom fish) really go after a “grunt plug”. Having the right live bait at your bottom fishing spot can mean the difference between a great day fishing and a disappointing outing on the water.

Watch the VIDEO to get a hands on tutorial on how to make a “grunt plug” from live bait.
For starters, we love using the Ahi Sobiki Bait Rod. It’s agile and can capture really good bait fish with ease. Once you spend a little time catching live bait, preferably “grunts” for the purpose of this tutorial, your ready to make a “plug” that mutton and mangrove snapper go crazy for.
