Want to give shark fishing a go sometime this week at north mole. this is my first time so was just wondering a few things. what rigs should i use ,balloon setup, slide bait? what size hooks keeping in mind im not chasing huge monsters and will just one hook do the job or would i be better of with 2 or more?ay advice would be appreciated

hey mate just a bit more info
hey mate just a bit more info like what type of sharks,
wat i use for all my sharks is balloon to 160 lb afw surflon wire bout 2.5 m worth just to be safe, if can be about 1.5 m the just have a bit of 100lb to stop kicks from the tail busting you off. then for hooks i use 2 9/0 jobuse. bit exspencive but i use them every time. if you dont want to use them u can use mustard 9/0 10/0 alrounders or even gamma big games work good. and yea thats bout it but the only problem with shark fishing at north mole is its hit or miss and the size of sharks vary. i'v seen 7 foot bulls to 2foot hammers so there is a big variety of sharks round there
hope this helps

was thinking small bronzies n
was thinking small bronzies n such but if the bigger ones are around it might pay of to use the heavier gear then?and how do u attach the 2 hooks to the wire?

i snell them up on it. nah
i snell them up on it. nah even if there are bigger ones around they shouldnt bite through that have about 5 to 10 cm hooks apart depending on the size of the baits. oh and running a pink squid skirt over the bait is another bit of hardware that might pay off eh. the wire that i use it real easy to snell btw if you got any doubts like snelling thick 100lb mono
