Surf rigs versus Bay rigs

[lamnidae]

Do you guys use a different leader length for surf compared to bay?
Any preference for the type of right in the surf?

In the bay I use cannonball rigs, Carolina aswell, just lighter sinkers overall and no wire. In the surf I use between 4-10oz and always use wire. Generally fishing a 3 way swivel rig.

Are your wire leaders longer due the potential size of some of the grinners and them possibly rolling?

[raychavez91]

I'd say roughly 30" leader lengths. When there longer, for me. It becomes very difficult to cast. Since the bait/weight will land on the sand behind me on the cast.
Plus I use about 15' of 80/100 mono shock leader for the shock/rub leader.

I use longer wire just in case it deep throats my hook. Which it doesn't anyway since I use circles. Piece of mind I guess. Like ray said, the longer leaders make casting a bit more difficult. They end up getting dipped in the water when I wade out and do a hatters cast.

Edit: 30 inches on the button for me as well....
