In my shark class I go in depth on how to... I use single starnd wire... Sometimes I rig them like a big split tailed mullet and other times a quick pin rig with a cut back... Even drifting I like to have a trolling quality bait out there. Not something thats gonna spin... If I move to do a reset of a drift I can troll them and if I'm real good never even bust a slick so all I need to do is stop when I get to the new spot...

Shane,

Fred Archer put up a lot of info about trolling for sharks with bluefish a while ago, there was also an article in one the the sportfishing mags, I can't remember which one. If you search on here, I'm sure you will find one of fred's how-tos. I remember it was very informative (but don't remember if it was the article or thread). Maybe he'll send you a copy if you pm him.

Good luck with your shark expedition, watch out for the toothy end!
