What is your "GO TO" Halibut rig?

I use something that Capt. Ron has passed on to many. Similar to what others. However this involves a small swivel above a bead that is above a Carolina keeper, line spliced together either with double Uni or Albright, then I use 15 to 20# floro to a circle hook. The swivel above the keeper I tie about a 10" 8# line to the swivel that then goes to the hook. This way if the weight gets stuck it's easier to pop the weight line than the main line, which if that's braid, it's not going to break.

Depending on the current will determine the weight I use. Rarely do I go above 4oz. I've caught many Rock fish, Lings, bass, and Halis with this, but I keep missing the legal Hali. The last legal one that I caught that I didn't hand off to someone else was when I was 13. I have been very close many times. This year I will get my barn door fish.
