Okuma Spinning Rods

Surf Shark Fishing Set Up?

I plan on going to the keys this summer to do some fishing. I was hoping that maybe someone could shed some light on an outfit that would be good for me. I want to be able to catch sharks and barracuda. I would prefer to have a big rod. I found this one

For both of these fish you will need a good steel leader. I like the type that is fine twisted wire that uses small steel sleeves. For shark, use a 5/0 or 7/0 hook and fresh bait. You should be able to find mullet or other bait fish at a local fish market. For barracuda, try any large silver spoon with steel leader. You might also use the newer braided line. You can put so much more on your reel than mono. When I was fishing in that water braided line was still in the future. Go with at least 80lb. test line for sharks. Just remember, braided line will not stretch so set you drag accordingly.
