Quick take
A 5-foot 480-pound braided stainless leader with a Mustad circle hook, assembled in the USA for shark and saltwater bottom fishing.
This is a ready-tied shark rig: a five-foot braided stainless bite leader with a barrel swivel, finished with a 16/0 Mustad 39960 inline circle hook. The hook is non-offset and non-stainless, and the rig is crimped by hand in the USA. It suits anglers who fish big baits for shark, halibut or grouper and want a rig that arrives tied.
Best for
- Large saltwater species like sharks
- Bottom fishing for grouper and halibut
- Anglers fishing heavy structure
Skip if
- You fish freshwater; this is saltwater only
- You fish light tackle; 480 lb rating is very heavy
Strengths
- Braided 7x7 stainless resists saltwater corrosion
- Circle hook design encourages jaw hookups
- Crimped assembly ensures consistent strength
Trade-offs
- 480 lb test is extremely heavy for most sport fish
- Braided leader visibility may spook clear-water fish
- Pre-assembled limits customization of hook size
