I've just started fishing for halibut in the last two months or so. I'll leave the recommended halibut rigs to the veterans. Below are two items I'm experimenting with. I haven't seen them discussed too much so I wanted to post pics. It may be more simple to use some of the traditional tackle, but I like to try new stuff out....

I use this instead of the three way. The top swivel allows for the bait to swim freely. I caught my first legal with this.

I tie a sliding trap rig, but I hated the fact that the bait would hook on itself and curl. I added a rubber "stopper," which can still slide. I'm still experimenting with this.
