This short shark rig is for use as a pitch bait and for land based shark fishing alone or with a monofilament upper leader or "shock cord". This is the 16/0 lower used with our Medium Land Based Shark rig combos.
This Cardinal Tackle cable shark rigs starts with 49 strand stainless steel cable double crimped with brass sleeves to a commercial-type carbon steel circle hook and 4/0 Rosco brass swivel.
Like all of our rigs, each one is made by hand in the USA. A key feature to all Cardinal Tackle cable shark rigs is the protected connections. After double-crimping the hook and swivel, we cover it with a short length of heat shrink tubing. The heat shrink tubing protects: your bait from being torn up, your hands when leadering, and your lines if they cross. This non-stainless, non-offset, circle hook shark rig is compliant with Amendment 5 to the 2006 Consolidated HMS FMP (77 FR 73029) and NY ECL 13-0338.
