 for the sharks, i made up my own rigs with 80lb wire and 10/0 hooks. was simple to do. just haywire twist the babys on with a swivel on the other end.
 
 pics of a few different rigs here, all can be made at home.

 for tuna, i assume for chunking, which would be basically the same thing but with flourocarbon in about a 5' length. can use a reliable knot, or go with crimps.

 i cant truly say if that is the proper thing to do or not, as im just going by what i've seen online for rigs you can buy. all i do is look at the rigs, and tie them myself for a fraction of the cost. the picture i linked, they wanted like 4bucks for it,, but cost about .50cent to make.

 if you have a better way to do it, by all means please fill me in. i'm new to the game.  i havent tested them yet. went out for shark once last year and the weather made it a bust. hopefully i can make it a couple times this year.
