Big Bait Shark Fishing Slidebaiting Leader (Winter Special) – 800lb Cable
This particular leader design is intended to be used during a run of exceptional sized sharks that occurs along the coast in various locales during the winter, when most other sharkers have hung up their gear on a count of rain. Those that have spent those short winter days and long nights on the planks during the frigid seasons know what this means!
These leaders are designed specifically for winter-time land based sharking, using a tactic known worldwide as “Slide baiting”. By casting a heavy anchor sinker (see our other products for examples) the angler can create a zip line effect, allowing a large, or fragile live bait to be presented at greater distances than they could be cast! A fantastic fishing tactic, and these leaders are the perfect tool for the job!

Zoe Young –
Used this leader during a winter shark run on the coast. The 800lb strength held up well under heavy drag. Slide baiting worked perfectly with the anchor sinker. Great for long-distance presentations.
Paul Clarkson –
Felt durable and reliable during a cold winter fishing session. The zip line effect from the sinker made it easy to present bait far out. A solid addition to my winter gear.

This leader performed exactly as described. The winter slide baiting technique worked smoothly. No breaks or slippage even with large sharks. Highly recommended.
