SURF SHARK FISHING NEED EXPERIENCED FISHING HELP! THANKS?

Ok all I hear is 200 lb this 300lb this and that.... So my first and main question. Do you really need that?! Or is it really about having proper drag letting him run and reeling when he lets you? I understand the leader being a very important part so that i can understand being some heavy duty but the line and everything? Can you get by say with...50-80 lb mono for the shock section of the rig? I just want to know more about this Shark stuff. And if all this high lb stuff is truly needed pics of your rig would be great too fishing in Florida gulf side!
What lb leader with work and how long? Right now i have 174lb single stand leader but its so... stiff and I just dont believe I need that but if i really do i will go with it I also have a 100 flourocarbon leader for the shock suppression I think this may be more then enough let me hear your thoughts. PS I would like a different leader because twisting it around to keep it snug hurts the fingures! I dont have a crimp

By no means am I an expert on Shark fishing. Sharks are a "by-catch" to me. However, I've caught plenty of sharks in my day......

Anywho

Do you need a 200LB leader? Depends on the size Shark your after.

Are you fishing for huge shark using a 12/0 - 14/0 hook?? Will you be fishing from shore or in a boat?

If you ARE fishing from Shore and going after "the big boys" then I suggest you use a wire leader OR 100-150LB crimped Mono leader.

Personally, I've accidentally caught Sharks up to 4-5 FT while Surf Fishing and while fishing the Flats. At those times I had a 25LB Mono leader. So, it's totally possible to catch larger Sharks with lighter than normal leaders and line. It just depends on WHERE you hook them and whether they "roll" and cut your main line.........

(That's probably the reason they want you to use a heavier Main line- Shark have super-abrasive skin and can cut your line when they start "rolling".)

If your going for anything under 4-5FT try using something like this- http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_8581____SearchResults

Or a Nylon coated wire leader - http://www.cabelas.com/p-0011429317460a.shtml

If you plan to Shark fish frequently you need to "splurge" and purchase a crimp tool and sleeves OR a Haywire twist tool- http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_8130____SearchResults

Hope this helps ya? Good luck!
