Terminal tackle, traces etc. 
Monster sharks are hard on tackle so only the best will do, a typical shark trace begins with 1 or 2 large super sharp hooks depending on bait sizes and species targeted, minimum size for hooks is 12/0, the hook is followed by 3-5 metres of 300kg breaking strain multi strand wire to prevent bite offs, a further 2-4 metres of 200kg jinkai mono is then added to the trace, giving a total trace length of 5-9 metres to ensure the shark cant wear through the main line with its tail. Our main line then has a plaited double of about 5 metres attached to the trace via a large ball bearing snap swivel. All traces and tackle are pre rigged by our crews before you arrive at the boat.

Gaff hooks and tag poles
We have a variety of gaff hooks and tag poles, ranging from small fixed head gaffs to monster flying gaffs, we rarely use gaffs these days as we prefer to tag and release rather than kill sharks for trophies, As of the 1st of july 2009 new laws will ban the killing of sharks over 1.5 metres long, so the gaffs will be retired and the tag poles will see more service. gaffs will always have a place for landing other large game fish. we like to release our sharks as humanely as possible with minmal injuries, we usually hold the beasts boat side to allow you to get photos and video footage for your personal memories, then we cut the trce as close to the sharks mouth as safely possible. Catch and release ensures a sustainable shark fishery for years to come and ensures that the future generations will also be able to experience the thrill and excitement of shark fishing.
Gimbal belts and harnesses
To say fighting large man eaters for hours on end is hard work, would be a massive under statement, to help ease the strain on you we provide black magic Gimbal belts and harnesses, this allows you to play the shark with ease and comfort.
Bait and burley (chum)
  We use a variety of live and dead baits while shark fishing on the gold coast reefs, our favourite bait is whole mackerel tuna, the bigger the better!! our baits vary in size from 1/2 kg tuna fillets right up to whole tuna in excess of 10kgs.
 We also use mullet, bonito and other oily flesh baits. preferred live baits include Bonito, slimy mackerel and yellowtail scad.
A good burley trail is essential to attract sharks to the baits, once we have set the baits burleying begins, both of our boats are equipped with burley pots and mashers. Any fish flesh makes good burley, where possible we use mack tuna flesh as its nice and oily and breaks up with ease when mashed in the pot.
