Shimano Tekota or Torium reel paired with a vertical jigging rod is a nice set-up for snapper. Or a Penn SpinfisherV or Shimano Baitrunner if you'd rather go spinning using a jigging rod.

My current favorite rod is actually a beefed up salmon rod (7'9" heavy action, 15-40# rating) paired with a tekota 700 and 50# Power Pro depth hunter. Super light-weight and sensitive for when the magroves and smaller snapper are light-biting but plenty powerful enough to handle some bigger fish. I've caught several 50#+ sharks on it with no problem.

This rod: Wright & McGill S-Curve Back Bouncer (Grey, 7-Feet 9-Inch) paired with this reel: Shimano Tekota 700 using this line: PowerPro Depth Hunter Multi-Colored Braid - 333yds. - 50lb
