The best rig for shark fishing from surf is to tie an 12 inch piece of line to a three way swivel with a hook at the end, tie a 5 inch piece of line to another loop of the swivel and tie the weight to the end of that. Finally, tie the line on the reel to the third loop on the swivel and cast out as far as possible, sometimes this requires to wade in the water to get a far enough cast. Braided line helps you to cast much further than monofilament.
