Are you referring to a standard bounce ball rig or the way I do it?
I hear you on the standard rig but the rig I use consists of a weight a swivel and a lure. No bait, no trap rigs, no flashers. It's actually the simplest easiest way I know to fish for halibut with a kayak. You don't need a bait tank you don't have to buy bait or frozen squid, and all the tackle fits in your pocket and a small box.
This is actually the way I fish when I don't want to carry a bunch of gear.
You can tie up before you ever go out hook the lure to a rod guide then when your on the water all you have to do is put a weight on, unhook the lure from the guide, drop it in the water lower it to the bottom and either drift or paddle.
It's really pretty simple which is kind of the beauty of the thing.
