How To Build the BEST Shark Casting Rig

Hey guys, Brigand Outdoors is back again. This week we are doing another build review on the Best Casting Leader Build for Shark Fishing. This video will walk you step by step on all the components you will need to have the best casting rig for shark fishing, especially if you are working within a budget.

Probably the best rig I have seen coming out of the US. Great stuff man 👌🏽😉

[lynkpaul]

You built your rig the way I would. This is a really good method for this rig.

Every section and detail has it use and function, to ensure a sure, safe and secure landing of any shark who gets hooked. Unless it's Jaws or a Meg...lol

[robertbernal]

This is by far the best video on setup. Thank you so much

[jamesflowers]

Great breakdown having watched a dozen other videos… yours broke down most of what’s out their (maybe a little overbuilt but idk and I’m going to tweak it to make it my own anyway) and sectioned it well and covered each part thoroughly and gave explanations for each part including tools… fantastic tutorial 👍🏻

[SaltDonky]

Just made a few of these leaders last night. Gracias mate.

Thank You for showing the “how to build” video for a Casting Rig. I’m going to try surf fishing for the first time ever this summer and I’m trying to figure out a good beginner rig (rod & reel) and the basic items I’ll want to have with me on the shore to be prepared for almost anything. I’ll check out some of your other videos but if you have a checklist of items you usually take surf fishing - that would be awesome. Great video !

[spider-man]

I am so out of my depth with this stuff. Really fun to learn though. Thanks for the solid content.

right on, great tutorial, reminds me of some of the european surf rigs, and catfish rigs, just as a heavy duty version. Always tight lines! If I may, just a few cents regarding reels, as it came up in the comments: The Daiwa BG 8000 has a smooth drag, and runs very smooth, but it is a little less than 33 Ibs of max drag, advantage, however for an 8000 sized reel, it holds about 500 metres of 100 Ibs braid and can be a good medium-heavy setup for casting with a proper rod reaching fairly good distances. So it actually, to me at least, also depends on the combination of rod action, drag, line capacity and experience. I found some of the European catfish rods (esp those for long range fishing) good surf rods for beach-based casting shark fishing. The Spinfisher 10500 is, of course, rock solid, bullet-proof, as are some of the bigger Finnors. All Best, bros, from Germany.

Everything looks great EXCEPT you didn’t mention anything about how the main line would be connected to the shock leader ( 100 pounds mono )? And if we use FG knot, is the tagging going to damage the rod guides?! Please help giving your experience in this. Appreciate it

[dantelaruffa]

This is a very compelling rig. Are you still selling them? Where can I find them?

[Clinton_Stanley]

Awesome video. Going shark fishing in a few weeks so this is really helpful!

[eastcoastcamping]

What knot do you use to connect your shock leader? To mainline and to shark rig?

[kkendrick]

Can you please put the links on where to find all of this stuff

[animalbarrie]

Nice work.

You're casting a knot with 100lb mono to braid uni through guides? I am assuming you are talking about a a surf spinning set up, not for surf casting reels.

That's a heavy duty set up. I run a 400lb bite leader to a 50lb shock leader to 20lb mono main line and I catch pretty solid sharks with no issue. I am using Daiwa BG30's casting reels to cast with.

[ALouieLouPena]

Can you do a video of you actually making the surf rig please.

[brentbillig]

I prefer bare cable. Due to the sharks shred the coating off after one 6ft plus hook up and its hanging shredded which cause snags.

[fishingsouthafrica]

Know this is old vid. But I'm starting to notice that in the US you guys do not snell at all. We snell and our hookup rates are huge. We make that entire trace without any of those crimps and if done correctly are as strong if not stronger than US crimped ver. And we do get and land some pretty impressive sharks here. Not shooting your style down at all. It obviously works for you. Perhaps I need to make an RSA ver YouTube vid one then perhaps you guys can see how we do it. We have a huge shark fishing community over here. Have a good evening.

[thomasartinghelli]

I'm heading to florida in February for 6 weeks and we shore fish and I want to build some of your rigs I mostly cast of shore running 80 pound braid is it to light? and were do you find the plastic thimble looking on amazon found everything but them.

[lynkpaul]

Shouldn't the first considerations to determine the length of the casting shark rig be the length and action of the rod and the height and casting ability of the person using the rig?

[carlosoliva]

What will be the proper weight sinker? For the line any differences I’m planing on using 250lb mono line but can’t find any info on proper sinker weight.
