The Lead Masters Shark Rig is a pre-built shark fishing rig constructed with stainless steel stranded wire and a Mustad tin hook — the two components that matter most for shark fishing where a standard monofilament or fluorocarbon leader would be severed immediately on contact with a shark’s teeth or rough skin. The stainless steel stranded wire provides bite resistance and abrasion resistance that no leader material other than wire can match in direct shark contact. Available in three configurations: 6/0 and 8/0 hooks on 135 lb wire for smaller shark species and inshore shark fishing, and a 9/0 hook on 250 lb wire for larger shark species and offshore applications where heavier wire is required.  Special California Regulations Below.

Key Features

• Stainless Steel Stranded Wire — Bite & Abrasion Resistance — The stainless steel stranded wire leader is the critical component of any shark rig; shark teeth and rough skin (dermal denticles) will cut through monofilament, fluorocarbon, and even heavy braid on contact; stainless steel stranded wire is the only leader material that provides reliable bite resistance for direct shark contact; stranded construction provides flexibility for natural bait presentation while maintaining the wire’s structural integrity.
• Mustad Tin Hook — Premium Hook Quality — Mustad is one of the most trusted hook manufacturers in saltwater fishing; the tin finish provides corrosion resistance in saltwater environments; hook size scales with wire strength — 6/0 and 8/0 for the 135 lb wire configurations, 9/0 for the 250 lb wire configuration — ensuring the hook gap and wire strength are properly matched for the target shark size.
• Wire Strength Matched to Hook Size — The 6/0 and 8/0 hooks are paired with 135 lb wire for smaller shark species and inshore applications; the 9/0 hook is paired with 250 lb wire for larger shark species and offshore applications where heavier wire is needed to handle the additional stress of larger fish; choosing the correct wire strength for the target species reduces the risk of wire failure on the hookset and during the fight.
• Three Hook Size Options — 6/0, 8/0, 9/0 — Hook size selection depends on the target shark species and bait size; 6/0 for smaller inshore sharks (Leopard Shark, Smoothhound) with smaller baits, 8/0 for mid-size sharks (Thresher, Mako) with medium baits, 9/0 for larger shark species (Hammerhead, Bull Shark, Tiger Shark) with large whole baits.

Variant Selection Guide

Best For

• Inshore Shark Fishing — The 6/0 and 8/0 / 135 lb wire configurations for inshore shark fishing from the beach, pier, or boat; effective for Leopard Shark, Smoothhound, and smaller inshore shark species that are common targets in California and Pacific coast inshore waters.
• Offshore Shark Fishing — The 9/0 / 250 lb wire configuration for offshore shark fishing targeting larger species; the heavier wire and larger hook are required for Hammerhead, Bull Shark, Tiger Shark, and other large offshore shark species where 135 lb wire would be insufficient.
• Any Application Requiring Wire Leader — The stainless steel stranded wire construction makes this rig effective for any species with teeth or rough skin that would cut through standard leader material; also effective for Barracuda, large Yellowtail, and other toothy saltwater species where a wire leader is preferred.

California Regulation Notice (Title 14, Sec. 28.06/28.65): Per emergency action approved by the CA Fish & Game Commission on June 17, 2026, wire/metallic leaders and hooks with an inside measurement greater than 1.5 inches are prohibited when fishing from shore or within 1,000 yards of the shoreline from Pigeon Point south to the U.S.–Mexico border (including beaches, piers, breakwaters, and jetties). Always check local regulations prior to fishing.

Why Josh Jorgensen Chose This Spec

Standard shark rigs fail at connection points or get bitten through by larger predators. This build is over-engineered so that doesn't happen:

• Heavy-Duty #19 Wire: The bite leader is upgraded to #19 Single Strand Wire — extreme stiffness and kink-resistance for 500lb+ sharks that standard #15 wire simply cannot match.
• 700lb Rub Leader: 20 feet of premium monofilament delivers elite abrasion protection against the sandpaper skin and powerful tail-whips of Hammerheads, Tigers, and Bulls.
• Rosco Hardware: Genuine 500lb 6/0 Rosco swivels prevent line twist and hardware failure under the immense pressure of a long-distance run.
• Hand-Crimped & Haywire Twists: Every connection point is double-secured for total peace of mind when it matters most.

These P-Line Ling Cod Rigs are ready to hit the water.  They include the line, swivels, hooks, and two plastic squids.  The Ling Cod Rig is a larger version of the highly effective Rock Cod Rig. At 5 inches these squid are the perfect length for larger ling cod. This version is also tied on 50 pound leader, but uses a larger 7/0 hook. When it’s time to load the cooler with a limit of Ling Cod you’d better have one of these rigs in your arsenal.

Here at Tackle Express, we like to put a small piece of squid or some gel fish attractant on the squid.  The gel scent can be Hookup Baits Mermaid Milk, Smelly Jelly, Hot Sauce, or any kind of scent that stays on well.  We like to put it inside the squid so it releases slowly. 

Add a weight that is heavy enough to get to the depth of water you're fishing, hit the bottom and jig it up and down 3 feet at a time using the rod tip.  After a few times, send it to the bottom again since the terrain can change as the boat drifts.
