I've found the old school dropper loop keeps the bait and weight separated better than the 3 way swivel.

As for trap hooks, many good halibut anglers swear by them. But I've found traps get tangled and hung up more, injure the baits, catch more small halibut, injure the short halibut, and catch more junk/by catch. I no longer use them.
