Done! |
Using our bait needles can help you be more successful in catching sharks from the beach. |  |
This method of rigging helps keep your bait looking natural in the water, improving your strike ratio. | ||
 |
Get a nice sized bait fish - whiting, skipjack, mullet, etc, take the pointed end of the bait needle and run it through the fish, starting from the back and pushing toward the mouth. | ||||
| Run the needle all the way through the fish. |  |
||||
 |
Attach your leader to the bait needle, using the pre-made slot in the needle. We usually step on the cable to make sure it stays in the groove of the needle. | ||||
| Pull the cable through the fish. |  |
||||
 |
Set your hook in the fish so you have a nice gap between the hook and the fish. | ||||
| Finish off the rigging by using a zip tie around the fish to keep the hook firmly in place. |  |

Setting the holder
Packing the ground
|
Use a small shovel to dig a hole in the sand approximately 12-18 inches deep, keeping the hole narrow |  |
You will be amazed at the holding power of this setup. Using steel or aluminum rod holders will allow you more drag pressure without fear of losing your rod. | ||
 |
Once you hit water, place your rod holder into the hole and suck on the rod holder. The pipe will bury itself | ||||
| Set your rod holder in the ground firmly. Fill the hole with sand and pack around the pipe. |  |
