BullRed and Small Shark Surf Leaders

Mustad 10/0 demon circle hooks, mighty mini #2 craneswivels, 80lb bullbuster mono and corresponding bullbuster aluminum crimps, 4 or 5oz spider weights. I use a palomor knot from hook to leader and a fishermans knot from leader to main line.

When you zip tie the sputnik sinker, you essentially turn it into a spider sinker. The sputnik sinker is designed to dislocate from the grooves so that you don’t snag the sinker in rocks. After you reel in the Sputnik sinker, reset the legs before casting. The Sputnik sinker makes fishing in rocky bottoms possible, like a jetty while minimizing lost sinkers due to snags. You’ll want to super glue the beads on the legs otherwise you’ll lose them over time. Good luck and tight lines.

[@KillerBeeOutdoors]

Yes sir. Where I fish they come loose way to often so I just turn them into spider weights! Lol thanks for watching man!

[@Gr0m3t]

I built my own out of pyramid sinkers. Drilled holes and stuck wire from hangers through. Bent them and they don’t move but if you get stuck on a rock the legs move enough it will still let go. Then just reset the legs when casting again. It was cheaper than $10 a spider sinker.

I like a loop on the line to the hook. Put it on one of the spider weight legs before casting. Keeps the bait and weight close together then hook separates from the weight when it hits the water. Make casting with longer leader a lot easier.

[@KillerBeeOutdoors]

I have used that rig as well. It works great but every once in a while it would tangle for me. Might be the way I cast or improper rigging though. I came up with this and can cast just as far with my setups so I started using this one. Ten ways to skin a cat I guess lol.Thanks for watching!

Super demonstration! Well done! Thanks

[@KillerBeeOutdoors]

Thanks man….been using this rig awhile now and it just works!

[@covalkir]

Thank you for sharing your technique. The knot on the main line sounds like the Improved Cinch knot. The "improved" comes from running the tag through the 2nd loop. If you make twists, then run the lag through the first loop where your finger is, that would be the Cinch knot.

[@KillerBeeOutdoors]

Thanks Ben. I never knew the name. I dont even remeber where I learned the knot, I have used it for so long!lol

[@Gr0m3t]

Came here to say this. It’s the only knot I’ve ever used.

[@meatmath85]

Interesting stuff brother, thanks. I was so glad to see you tie that main line knot and not know the name because I use it for everything and don't know what to call it either. I'd like to see a wire leader as well, when you get the time.

[@KillerBeeOutdoors]

Lol....I have always heard it called a fishermans knot but I dont think that's the technical name. I will get the wire leader video posted. It's almost the exact same leader setup.

[@KillerBeeOutdoors]

Already posted in the DIY section....enjoy

[@luigigreen9823]

I like this leader a lot! Different from most people fish finder rigs where the weight is free flowing on the line

[@KillerBeeOutdoors]

In my opinion they hook themselves with the circle hook. I have had a. Ton of success with it. Kind of like the mouse trap shark leader. When they go to leave after grabbing the bait they spook when they feel the weight and drag that hook into the corner, hooking themselves!💪💥

[@luigigreen9823]

@@KillerBeeOutdoors that makes since and i agree! I am most definitely going to try this rig. Except I'm thinking of using a 3 way swivel

[@Randylayhe001]

That's a good leader. I build all my own leaders as well. The only thing different is I'd have snelled that 10/0 circle. I hardly use wire anymore on sharks under 200 lbs provided you're using a circle hook. Good fishing!

[@KillerBeeOutdoors]

I have started snelling some hooks on my bluecat leaders. I will give it a try on bulls this fall! Thanks

[@ADDICTED2FISHINGTX]

That’s a nice leader! Good stuff I’d like to give it a try.. nice video man!!

[@KillerBeeOutdoors]

Thanks man.....it has really worked well for me. Hopefully it does you right as well!

[@KillerBeeOutdoors]

Thanks man!

[@Irby5700]

What size rod/reel size do you use for fishing the surf? And what time of year is best for bull reds? Awesome video!

[@KillerBeeOutdoors]

I use avet MXL on a 12foot surf rod! Love the Avet reels!

[@dylannaran3062]

pretty late to this video but awesome vid, its exactly what i fish for! i was wondering what bait you use though?

[@KillerBeeOutdoors]

Fresh Mullet,croaker,Whiting or crab. As big a bait as I can throw.

[@donnielong1692]

Just curious. Why use the crimps on the swivels and not just the polomar? Also isnt a snell the preferred knot for a circle hook?

[@KillerBeeOutdoors]

I use a Snell as well. It's just super quick and a easy rig that just works. I can make one in under a minute.

[@adamcastillo1951]

Thanks for doing a video on leaders for smaller sharks WITHOUT using wire leader. That stuffs expensive.

[@KillerBeeOutdoors]

No prob man. you loose some but it works out more often than naugt.😁

[@BlackBeard_Actual]

Heading to Matagorda this week great set up.

[@KillerBeeOutdoors]

thanks buddy.....headed that way myself

[@BlackBeard_Actual]

KillerBee74 Outdoors I will be there Wednesday good luck tight lines

[@manuelescobedo4343]

I use bull buster 150 pound mono for this rig. I caught over a 100 pound bull shark with this rig

[@KillerBeeOutdoors]

It works really well. Love the ole mousetrap!

[@pietiedejager2047]

I would put the sinker on a short line so that the line can snap should the sinker get stuck

[@KillerBeeOutdoors]

Great idea👍🏻luckily not to many snags where I am fishing but I will keep this in mind! Thanks

[@jimcallaham1392]

like that way of doing the crane swivel, In my experience that rig won't cast good at all. and around here you never know how big of a shark is going eat that. use wire

[@KillerBeeOutdoors]

I use wire as well with this rig. When I am targeting bulls sometimes you will get more bites using mono or flouro in my experience.
