How'd I Do?

Ok, after talking to Sam earlier this week and some general guidance from him, I went out and premade my shark rigs for fishing. He recommended 800# leader, however the first night the best I could find was 150#, after that was shredded I decided to go out again, well this time the best I could find was 400# and that was black, it defenitely didn't bother the sharks though.....I used 350# swivels and snap swivels and found a tackle shop with the premade rigs which saved me having to find the right wire leader.

Looks good. Tape over any swivels used for Chark. IF, you have any wire leftover past the crimp, haywire twist it.

why tape? What purpose does that serve?

Jeff, 400lb is all I use for the mono leader, then the bite leader is 500lb cable.

I only used tape once on my cable. Shark chewed it to pieces.

Tape over the clips hinders it coming open when you DON'T want it to...
Yeah, I know, interlocks are strong, but many other sites recommend it too.
