Shark hooks

Bunnlevel Sharker · August 12, 2013, 09:32:46 PM

Somebody asked a question about what hooks to use for sharks, so I took pics of what I use

From left to right: 12/0 mustard o'shaugnsey style, 16/0 gapped offset mustad, and a 12/0 mustad

Left to right: EC 20/0 circle, Mustad 20/0 circle,and a mustad southern and tuna 12/0

Top to bottom: 14/0 SS J hook, 10/0 mustad o'shaugnsey, and a 2x 8/0 mustad o'shaugnsey

And these are some bad little hooks, 9/0 EC circle sea, I use these and the 7/0s for drum and sharks

There's something about shark rigs that I find extremely hot.

A big ol sexy king Mack head with a 12/0 J studded in it, nothing better

Well then this should trip your trigger!

30' of 700 lb test mono, 10' of 920 lb 7x7 nylon coated cable, 8/0 long line snap, 225 lb test rosco swivel and a 20/0 circle.

He said shark rigs not bait setups

This is a Shark Rig Grayson!

SH, your 225 lb. swivel is a weak link in your chain. The swivel should equal your highest lb. level of components in your system. You've got a rig for a 4000# Great White & a swivel for a 600# Hammerhead.

I'll settle for the Hammer!

If you want a Hammerhead that big head for Islamorada in the Florida Keys.

Honestly that's what size swivels I use on my lighter cast baits, smallest I run on yak baits is a 750lb on small rigs, on up to a 8/0 rosco

Shark Hunter · August 19, 2013, 02:10:58 PM

The 225 lb snap swivel is for the sliding trace weight. The main line is attached using a 8/0 rosco swivel that is rated at 900lbs....

Never mind then, that'll work! If you remember, tie your weights on with light single strand so if you break off it will rust off or break quickly as possible

Will do Grayson. Thanks.
