Specifically designed with pelagic target species in mind like Mako and Thresher Sharks these rigs present suspended baits off the bottom. With a float near surface or in the water column baits will appear more appetizing natural and last longer. To use, attach crimped Monofilament end loop of the leader on the weighted side to the drone's bait release and slide a baited float to the mainline swivel side. This essentially flies the rig upside down for safe and effective flights, making sure floats work as intended and don't tangle. Best for use with heavy Claw Sinkers or breakaway style weights. These Leaders are legal in California Texas and Florida.

Tips:
Rinse rigs after fishing for longer future use
Try to avoid use in busy or frequently traveled waters. Boat activity may result in cut offs
Use smaller baits than typically on bottom rigs as floats must be able to suspend them
Small sized floats designed to hold up to 8oz - 1lb baits approximately
Pair rigs with heavy leads (1-2lbs) or breakaway weights to keep baits in place
Fish these rigs on heavy tackle as not to break off, leaving floats in sharks accidentally
