Snagging , also known as snag fishing , snatching , snatch fishing , jagging (Australia), or foul hooking , is a fishing technique for catching fish that uses sharp grappling hooks tethered to a fishing line to externally pierce (i.e. "snag") into the flesh of nearby fish, without needing the fish to swallow any hook with its mouth like in angling . This is achieved by suddenly and vigorously pulling the line (either by handlining or with a rod ) when movement is felt, causing the snag hook to "claw" into any fish grappled by the hook points. Weighted multi-hook rigs can be used to increase chances of success, and modern technologies such as underwater video camera can also be used to visually aid and time the snagging.
