These leaders were specifically designed by the dedicated Land Based Shark Fishing community in South America for presenting long lasting, crab proof, floating baits while still being able to use a spider weight and/or deploy via drone!
This rig presents baits 6’ off the bottom, right in the face of most predatory species!
By incorporating a smaller float on the bite section of the leader ahead of the hook these rigs are capable of floating relatively large baits vertically off the bottom away from nuisance fish/crabs and still hold in current with the use of a spider weight instead of a breakaway. The stiff section of cable ahead of the bait ensures the bait remains presented properly and the hook remains proud to hook any biters!
Proper bait size is very important when using this rig, too large of a bait may sink the float, we recommend testing baits for floatation until you get the hang of sizing them.
Tips:
-Use smaller baits than would be typical for bottom fishing. Remember the float has to be able to lift them.
-These pop-up style rigs are also good ways to present floated baits in boat traffic areas as the bait and line remain under the surface!
-Fish this rig on heavy tackle to avoid unnecessary break offs that will leave floats attached to sharks.
-Make every effort to recover this rig if lost. A cut off rig that is baited is still fishing and will result in "ghost fishing"!
- Use 1-2lb spider weights to ensure there is enough weight to keep the float anchored.
-Rinse your leaders after each outing! This will keep hooks sharp, and swivels spinning well trip after trip!
