This is a fishing tutorial video that shows how to make/build a shark fishing rig for surf fishing. This rig is designed to be castable. We use this rig when surf fishing on the beaches of Florida. This leader is designed to catch sharks under 8ft in length. This is a heavy duty rig that is also very cost-effective. The total cost of the rig is under $5.00.
TOOLS:
- Wire Cutters
- Hand Swager AKA Crimper tool
MATERIALS:
- (1) 12/0 Eagle Claw L2004 Circle Hook
- (1) 6/0 - 500lb Crane Swivel
- (1) 3/0 -- 300lb Crane Swivel
- (2) 2.3mm Stainless Steel Thimbles
- (2) 2.3mm Aluminum Oval Crimps
- (1) Size 6 -- 200lb Coastlock Snap
- (2) 26" strands of #15 single strand wire. (We prefer to use the American Fishing Wire brand Tooth Proof)

I made several leaders like your tutorial shows, both single hook and double hook rigs using #15 wire doubled and #19 wire on the double rigs. Lots of shark fisherman are telling me cable is better and they've lost sharks on wire and never had a cut through on cable. I trust your design and I know your experienced on the Florida sand catching monsters on wire. I pray for no failures! Thanks again for the great videos.
I would use an albright knot. A uni to uni will also work.
I use to have that problem. You need to double-up your knot. Try a uni knot with two wraps around the eye of the swivel.
Thanks, TB, this video is weirdly relaxing.
Great job. Saw other post that were 15 minutes or longer with a bunch of blah blah blah..... you were simple straight to the point. AND NO ANNOYINGLY OBNOXIOUS MUSICAL SOUND TRACK.
just wanted to say thank you for making your videos and answering my questions in the comments. you were very helpful
Amber Jack are the bulldogs of the sea! They are such an intense fight! Great video
I fished with a Fla. local who used a simple 6 ft. long fish finder rig that used crimped 800 lb mono and a 16/0 non-offset circle hook. I wondered if he was making a mistake by not using steel trace. I decided to try his setup though. We later caught and released a 6ft lemon and a 4 ft. blacktip, and the mono showed minimal abrasion. I'm sure this mono-only rig is fine for surf casting to smaller sharks, but yakked rigs intended for bigger sharks probably demand the wire trace and a longer (20 ft.) 400-600 lb mono abrasion leader.
I have this same rig but what lb line should I use for sharks under 5ft? I'm going to nc in a couple days. For a Saragosa 18000 with a 12ft rod. Braid or mono?
Thanks for the response. I have made several single and double hook rigs using the exact same materials your using, constructed the same way as yours. I am looking forward to trying them out!
Thank you! Even that I was trying for sharks, this rig got me a nice Cubera!
Would it be easier to have the lock snap running along the mono so the sinker can move freely? Or would you say it's better to keep the sinker in place?
does the size of the cable matter? i started using 500lb test twisted cable and am getting nothing, when i was using like 120lb test cable i was hooking up all the time but it was snapping off.
Is there a way that you can post where to buy the crane swivels and crank swivels. I went to different fishing stores and the only ones I found that hold that weight are ball bearing snap swivels and crane swivels
Thanks greatly for your help, excellent website, and informative tutorials! You Rock, and a great 2015 fishing year for ya!
just curious would it not be better to put a slide on the mono section of the rig for your weight so the line will slide through it and not alert the shark? or in your experience do they just not care that much?
good tutorial. Im going to try using cable because I suck at haywire twist! Im sure ill get better overtime, but I dont think I am doing it correctly. Also going to try thimbles and crimping
Great simple shark rig. Thanks for sharing.
What line do I use for the rest, like the line on the reel?
The audio and video quality is insane. Well done!
Thanks for all your videos, very well done and great info. John
Thanks for all vids. I'm hoping to get into some sharks this year.
Do you often break off at the braid knot due to the lack of stretch in the short 500# mono section? I use a similar setup on my casting rig, and I have broken off at the braid knot a few times
how far is the bait from the break away rock? i know some videos said 6-7ft of 15-20lb mono from rock to eye. still having trouble visualizing this...so is the bait floating away from the rock or would the bait be in between the main rig and the break away rock is at the end? is there heavy tension on the rods set up on the beach?
Is it possible to tie an mono leader on the rig without crimping
For a small rig with number 9 wire haywire twist or double haywire twist?
I was reading that wires have to be 4ft or longer for sharks in Florida is this true?
how do you clip or tie your rig up to your main line ? do you just tie it on or do you use a snap swivel ? and if so what pound of snap ?
i have been catching up on your tutorial and fishing videos, i been flats fishing and inlet fishing sebastian inlet since a kid, im decent at it, 24 now, just wondering if the same 175 yards of 25lb braid in my spool enough to tango with a decent 4-5 foot black tip on the surf?
what is the snap lock swivel for? do you attach a weight on it for you just put it on there
Hey great video! But I just bought a quantum smoke what type of line and what pound test should I put on it?
I saw your crimp was actually looking like it was bent to fit over the thimble.. did you do that or was the crimp already fitted so?
What knot would you recommend for 100lb mono to a barrel swivel its for my leader
what brand do you use for thimbles, sleeves, swivels, coastlock snaps, and mono?
Thanks for the nice video. Very well produced and easy to follow. My daughter (9) and I enjoy recreational surf fishing. We often catch small sharks and we would like to catch slightly bigger ones. Say Max 5-6 feet. We have fairly basic pinnacle 8' surf rod. Could it be done? what else would we need?
what knot do you use to attach the braid to the first swivel?
how do you cast a rig thats 8 ft long? is there a certain technique you use? because you cant reel in any of the mono since you have that first swivel at the start of the 7ft section right?
So the weight doesn’t have to slide? Can you use spider weight instead of a pyramid sinker?
question . where do you get these crimper? are they available on a fishing website. i am never able to find crimper tool at good price.
is 50$ a normal price for that kind of tool ??
What Test Pound would be used for my Mainline If I were to use this Rig? I frequent Ponce Inlet and New Smyrna for Surf Fishing
Have you ever had that happen to you? And where would you recommend getting like my hooks and line leaders and the other stuff? Bass pro shop?
Thank you very much..you guys are awesome..keep up the goos work
can you please tell me a store or website where i can buy the crane swivels and eagle claw L2004 12/0 because basspro doesnt carry them , thanks .
if im going for 4-5 foot sharks is it okay to use 75 lb wire and 100lb mono? the wire is all they got at the fishing store i have
What is the actual 15# wire? Is this 15 lb test leader wire? Trying to put this kit together
I'm finally getting my shark rig setup, I have a Daiwa Saltist 50h conventional on a Shimano Tallus Ex. Heavy (65-200lb). What weight braid/top shot would you recommend for 6-8footers (Texas Gulf Coast)? Also, checking out SharkOutlet I only see 4/0 Crane Swivels and I know you mentioned 3/0 in the vid. Any issue using the 4/0 ?
I have just about the same setup as griffin with the 9' rod, 5/0 hooks, 300 yds of 30 lb test going for 1-4 ft sharks. I will be fishing in Ocean City, MD. How much should I downsize the rig? What # wire, lb mono, swivels, etc. Thanks for answering everyone's questions! It has helped a lot.
Do you prefer a slider for the wieght ?
What brands do you use for swivels, sleeves and coastlock snaps?
What main line would you use for this rig? Would a penn senator reel work for sharks eight feet and under?
hey josh if i want to use ur rig for big bull reds but useing 80 or 100 pd mono do u recommend crimping or tieing ?
Thanks! Also, for sharks between 4 and 6 ft range would the 4/0 (350lb) coastlock snap and crane swivel work instead of the 6/0 (500lb)? Well
Is there a simpler version for leos?
what size sinker is prefered. and what gauge line? and tips on good bait for florida on shore fishing?
Where can I get a shark dehooker? Or are all these ones I see in shark videos all homemade?
instead of using 2 26'' strands of #15 single strand could i use one strand of 49-Strand wire?
Excuse my ignorance but that is your coastlock snap used for?
night sharking tmrw me and whats good bait for casting i have mullet and ladyfish its my first time going at mid afternoon till about 9:00
What do you recommend for smaller sharks like 2 to 4 feet drone the beach?! Like what pound line not on the leaders but on the real and what type of pole?!!
And also how far would I cast it off the pier if I'm shark fishing and I'm at the very end of the pier?
I've been loading you up with questions lately haha, what brand are those crimps?
Thanks,
Jeff
respond quick going to ocean shores Washington tomorrow and I was wondering can I catch sharks on the surf
Would a 1,320 lb Spro Power Swivel work for this rig despite it's size?
I would like to make a number of these rigs in different sizes for my upcoming fishing trip. How often do you change out your shark fishing rigs? sorry if this has already been asked
618 Fishing I change them once the wire kinks or when the mono turns chalky white.
Seeing my two favorite youtubers interact lol
@@fishingwithkerben2320 ikr
Do I have to use this for surf fishing?
Can you use this rig for most sharks?
i have a question.What rig and size should use with 75 pound braid?
what do u think is the biggest shark i could catch using this from the beach with the right amount of drag and a good leader
But where did you buy the 12/0 eagle claw L2004 circle sea
Hey, can my shakepeare power rod medium heavy action rod and mitchell acocet ii take on a shark.
Great Vid! New to shark fishing, I am wanting to catch sharks in the 4-6ft range. My questions:
1) Recommended hook and wire size for sharks in that size range?
2) What lb test and how many yards of either mono or braid?
3) Does the color of mono matter for the leader? Will black work or is it best to stick with clear?
Sorry for the abundance of questions and thanks for the help!
What knot do you use to tie this rig to your mainline?
Very good instructions. And I would just like to know if this rod and reel could fishing for sharks off the pier. My rod is a 7ft heavy action Ugly Stick tiger lite with an Abu Garcia Ambassador 6500 C3 paired on it and I would probably have maybe 65lb Power Pro braided line on it. Right now I have 40 lb on, could that work? Same brand and everything.
would 350yds of 50lb braid suffice? I have a Penn Battle 7000
***** I would use #9 wire, 200lb swivels and 200lb mono.
+BlacktipH thank you so much this was really help full for our up coming trip in cape san blas
Mona to braid
BlacktipH how much does the supplies cost to make this rig?
what size main line would you use
This pier I went to in South Carolina that I fished at last year(( first time I ever fished in the salt water) I caught a small shark. I think it was I nurse shark. It was about 1 1/2 feet. I was using small hooks and just shrimp as bait. Under this pier their are about 5-6 foot sharks that just hang out under their. I'm going to that same year so that is good. And how far would you recommend casting it off? I know that you should cast it into dark places, but how far or close should it be?
what pound test rod do you need with what type of line?
where do you guys buy the tackle you have listed above?
Are shark big enough for this rig running the gulf coast this time of year? Or should we bring it down a bit?
I'm going to the outer banks in a month. Is it possible to catch sharks in the surf there? If so I imagine that they will be under 6ft. Just wondering if I should use the same setup as the one listed in this video.
Yea I agree. And should I bring another pole for bait fish?
What type of rods and how strong is the line y'all use
Is the 500lb mono overkill for sharks under 7 feet? I will be headed to the OBX this summer and will be trying to catch sharks from the surf.
Congrats on 10k too!
BlacktipH what would be the best setup for Blackwood 8 ft thru 12 ft
Do you ever go fishing in/around Cat Cay, Bahamas (south of Bimini)?
Awesome thanks and also i will be using the setup you have on this video if possible all i need to know is the lb line of jerry brown for my setup..thanks very much
We use 50lb Bullbuster when surf fishing for sharks.
So, how far out should we get the bait? or just fish the inlets?
+BlacktipH Quick question if your are surf fishing wouldn't you want more space between the hook and your weight to allow the bait to float more?
The further the weight is away from your hook/bait, the less distance you'll get on your cast.
can I use 40 - 50 lb mono for my main line for around a 4 footer
can you set up a fish finder rig with this set up??
and do u need a 2.3 mm crimp or is a 2.2 fine ?
What would be the pound test of your main line ? The minimum ?
Hi! You are awesome! Keep up the good work.
can u make video on how to rig smaller baits and how to hook a shark properly?
BlacktipH - I mainly use spinning gear when I shark (Spinfisher V8500) and leader is comprised of 400lb mono (5-6ft) attached to 150lb coated cable (2ft) and it's worked very well for sharks around 5-6ft range. I'm probably going to convert to single strand soon and was wondering if this size wire is what I should be using with casting gear. My friends from Charleston fished at BTC and my buddy J. Levin placed in 2 categories. Appreciate all your advice and time spent sharing your knowledge.
do you need to have the monofilament line in the rig? what's the point...
I want to use braided line attached to the hook set but don't know if there is a reason you use monofilament...
+noah bailey It's a shock leader. The mono prevents the shark's tail from cutting you off.
What about bait?What kind (Bonita,mullet,squid) should I use?
+BlacktipH can I use this rig on pier's aswell? Do I need the wire leader? If I can get away with not having the extra length I will but if you highly recommend it I will use it.
+Nick Fishes Yes, you can use this rig at the pier. Being higher up will give you an advantage.
