  Weight to hold the bait
  
  After attaching the hook, you need to make the weight which will hold the bait still. Take a jug and fill it with beach sand or any other sand. Then you need to tie an end of the mono filament leader to the jug handle. Tie the other end with a 3-way swivel. Remember that it will act as bait but when the shark bites, it will break from the line. Thus you should not worry about the breaking and focus on catching the shark.
