Snapper on plastics

[kingbonito]

Hey fellas I’ve recently started getting in to snapper fishing off the rocks, I’ve caught a few but wanted to no what size plastics use are using, what types of plastics and jig head and hook size ? Just after a bit of extra help

Start with anything on this forum by @Scratchie and you probably need to go no further...

It's not rock-based but I would say it's a very good start.

Hopefully the info given above will help you out. 
The key points albeit from a boat or land based when fishing soft plastics: 

Match the jig head to the depth and current

Match the plastic to the bait that is present in that area. (This will change with seasons) 

Allow the lure to work the entire water column and work it back towards you. 
 

Make sure you are in constant contact with your lure and there is not a spaghetti effect in your line. 
 

When you do get a bite, strike hard! 
 

Hope that helps, 

Cheers scratchie!!!
