The Gummy Shark is one of the most sought-after species among anglers—for good reason! These powerful fish can grow beyond 20kg, demanding heavy-duty tackle to land them.
That’s where our Happy Hookers Gummy Rig comes in. Built from 80lb Black Magic mono, and with a leader length of approximately 1 meter, this rig is designed for strength and reliability, giving you the confidence to pull gummy sharks from the depths.
Rig Features & Design
Our Gummy Rig is essentially a reinforced running sinker rig, upgraded to handle serious shark fishing. Key features include:
Lumo hook sleeve for added visual attraction.
"Weak link loop" on the sinker slide, covering all bases.
Why the Weak Link Loop Matters
The weak link loop serves two critical purposes:
Snag Protection: If your sinker gets stuck, the weak link is designed to break before your main rig, saving you from losing the entire setup. Just replace the sinker and keep fishing!
Natural Bait Movement: The loop allows bait to move with the current, lifting it off the bottom and creating a more enticing presentation for passing sharks.
Setting Up the Gummy Rig
Thread the sinker slide onto your main line, followed by the lumo bead (for knot protection and attraction).
Tie the swivel to your mainline.
Clip on your sinker, bait up, and cast out!
It’s that simple—a robust, hassle-free setup designed to help you land serious gummy sharks. Available in 6/0 and 8/0 circle hook options, this rig ensures you're ready for the fight.
