Salt Strong | – Shock Leaders For Surf Fishing: When To Use Them & How to Tie Them

It’s surf fishing time!

Here’s a question we get asked often: when should you use a shock leader for surf fishing?

Shock leaders aren’t like your typical 1-2 feet of mono or fluorocarbon leader that you tie on right before your hook…

Shock leaders are long lengths of heavier leader to help your line not break when you’re casting out heavy leads, as well as add a little extra protection against abrasion if you’re fishing rocky or shelly beaches.

In this video, you’re going to learn:

– When you should use a shock leader (and when they’re not necessary)
– How long your shock leader should be
– How to tie your shock leader to your main line
– And much more
