Do I need shock leader for sea fishing?

Yes, using a shock leader when sea fishing is recommended, especially when casting heavy weights. It prevents the line from snapping during a powerful cast and ensures the safety of other anglers and those nearby.


What breaking strain of shock leader should I use?

The general rule of thumb is to use a shock leader that's 10 times the weight of the lead or weight you are casting. For instance, if you're casting a 5 oz weight, you should use at least a 50 lb breaking strain shock leader.


How long should shock leader be for sea fishing?

A shock leader should be long enough to have several wraps on the reel and still reach the rod tip and go down to the rig. Typically, this means a shock leader should be around 15-20 feet or even longer depending on the casting style and the size of the reel.


What is the best fishing line for shock leader?

Monofilament line is commonly used for shock leaders because of its high stretch and abrasion resistance. However, fluorocarbon can also be used as it's nearly invisible underwater and has good abrasion resistance. The best choice often depends on personal preference and specific fishing conditions.


How do I attach shock leader to my mainline?

There are several knots you can use to attach a shock leader to your mainline. Some popular options include the Albright knot, the Double Uni knot and the shock leader knot. It's crucial to ensure that the knot is well-tied to prevent it from failing during a cast. Best Shock Leader Knot
