Answer
A surf rig is the terminal tackle between your line and the bait—sinker, snaps, hooks, and sometimes floats—built to hold bottom in waves and cast distance. Ocean City surf anglers commonly use fish-finder or fireball styles with pyramid sinkers. Shops sell pre-tied rigs tuned to local species.
