Great thread!
Lots of good advice here.
Jim Day, I can't tell you how many threads you have chimed in on that I have taken away good knowledge. Rigging, technique, fabricating, magging reels...you pick it. I greatly appreciate your contributions.
Just an anecdote...2 weeks ago my buddy was bringing in a trap rig, up from the bottom, and it got nailed by a strong yellow tail.
He gave it a good fight, but the fish finally broke off, after nearly spooling the smaller halibut setup three different times (we could see the metal on the spool).
Sigh, just when you decide to do a light rig to tease the butts, they get an uninvited guest.
Load up the setup for that random chance, and the butts may never take a look at the heavier rigging.
Ain't that fishin'?
Tight lines,
Willy
