The checklist

5 things every saltwater rig needs.

After 11 years of building rigs for big fish, here’s the bar. Cut a corner on any of these and you’ll feel it on the next hot run.

01
A circle hook that’s actually sharp

Mustad 39960D Demon circles. Out of the box, they hook fish other brands lose.

02
Heavy mono shock leader

200‑lb minimum. Shark teeth shred fluoro. Don’t waste your time.

03
Swivel rated for the target

8/0 minimum for sharks. Anything smaller will pop on a strong run.

04
Pyramid sinker on a slide

Holds bottom in current. Lets the fish run before it feels weight.

05
Don’t cheap out on line

80‑lb braid main, no exceptions. We sell the spool we use.
