In this video Captain Cody talks about the best sharks rigs. He also discuss the best way to safely release sharks. This can be done with a bolt cutter, shark dehooker, or a ARC fish dehooker.
All to often people that are shark fishing leave the hook in the shark. This is because it is difficult to safely remove the hook from sharks. However, their are tools and techniques that make it possible to remove the hook in a reasonably safe way. That being said always use caution as safety of the angler is always most important. If you are not comfortable releasing sharks it is better to not target them or hire a fishing guide or charter captain that is experienced in catching and releasing sharks.
Having the right gear with you is extremely important. This includes gloves, bolt cutter, shark dehooker, large fishing rod and reel, and other people to help remove the hook from the shark. It is often a team effort.
Most people that are shark fishing use large stainless steel circle hooks. In most cases it is actually better you thin carbon steel hooks that will rust out of the fish. These hooks typically have a black nickle coating which makes them corrosion resistant. However if this is going to be left or possible left in the shark it is best to remove the coating to allow the hook to rust away much faster.
Hopefully watching this video helps people learn how to safely catch and release sharks.

This video should be linked on the FWC app and website. The information is invaluable and your morality is a breath of fresh air, man. Thank you!
That would be great! Thanks for the comment!
Really good shark fishing educational video thanks!
Sure thing, thanks for watching!
Good info for responsible shark fishing.
Thanks realitypro!
Dang now you are starting to upload more often! 🥳🥳🥳
Yeah, I should be uploading a video every Sunday for the next few weeks. Thanks for watching Jigsaw Productions, I subscribed to your channel as well.
Florida does not allow stainless steel anymore - at least according to the Shore-based Shark training I just took.. I also stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
It didn't mention anything about flattening the barb.. which I know you mentioned in your video as well
That is interesting and is a good thing if you ask me! Many bait shops in Florida are still selling shark rigs with stainless steel hooks though. Maybe if everyone is required to do that training people will start to learn to use the hooks that rust out much faster!
I've used barbless hooks on all freshwater and a few marine species and find that with the exception of the freshwater basses I land the fish every time. Using barbless certainly makes catch and release a lot easier. I'm wanting to try shark fishing so I find this highly educational and informative but I am sticking to barbless hooks.
Yeah, you can fish for sharks with barbless hooks! Once the shark is hooked very rarely does it shake the hook. Sharks bite through non-wire leaders and break low test fishing line alot. But do not shake the hook. It is easier to release then when using a small barbless hook.
@@CaptainCody7 Thanks for the advice, it's appreciated. Actually I'm a fly fisherman and found the video most useful :) I am going to use my 12 weight rod and a KP or Scarborough reel (a South African centerpin )rigged with a load of 80 pound braid backing and a shooting head. We get tons of sharks around our coast but hardly anyone fishes for them with a fly rod.
@@zeph6439 Nice, that does sound fun!
@@CaptainCody7 I'll let you know how it turns out! Tight lines my friend.
Ty for releasing the sharks
Sure thing!
What’s the brand on that big blue anodized dehooker? That thing is sweet and practical
Yeah, it works well. I am pretty sure it is the 6-foot ARC Pole Big Game Dehooker. It is only for sale on the arcdehooker website. It has the 5/16″ diameter pigtail curl. It is unclear on the site if it comes in anodized blue or gold. Either way, it will work. Thanks for watching!
Stainless steel is illegal in Florida
Yeah, you have to use non-stainless steel circle hooks! I think that this good thing. Bait stops should stop selling pre-made shark rigs with stainless hooks.
