🦈 Texas Iron Shark Fishing Rigs & Traces (FMJ-Style) — USA Edition
Built for long casts, brutal runs, and clean releases.
🦈 BITE-PROOF | 💪 HEAVY DUTY | 🎯 CLEAN HOOKUPS | 🌊 SURF & PIER
This is not a “generic wire trace.”
Texas Iron is a purpose-built FMJ-style shark rig inspired by South Africa’s land-based shark fishing—tuned for Gulf & Atlantic surf conditions.
✅ What it does better
Reduces bite-offs with full bite-proof steel
Improves hookups with a power Snelled knot and inline circle hook alignment.
Handles chaos (wash, current, head shakes) with heavy terminal hardware
Designed for surf casters, pier anglers, and bait droppers.
🎯 Best for: blacktip, bull, hammerhead, tiger (where legal), and big rays.
🎣 Best baits: mullet, bonito, ray wing, and tough cut bait.
📌 PRO TIP
Wrap bait tight with bait thread so it casts like a “missile” and lands cleaner.
Texas Iron Shark Fishing Rigs & Traces
Complies with NOAA and Florida shark fishing rules — non-stainless inline circle hook, perfect for catch-and-release.
⚠️ Know your regs. Fish responsibly.
This rig is designed to support responsible shark fishing practices, including circle-hook-style hookups and faster releases. However, laws vary by location and change over time. You are responsible for following your state and federal regulations (hook style, offset rules, permits, prohibited species, landing/handling requirements, etc.).
