Halibut Hunting

[jorluivil]

I use one of these

Spectra with albright knot or swivel to a drop shot to a 8oz sinker

Spectra to three way swivel with an 8oz sinker



ALWAYS, use the biggest baits possible. If you don't believe the 'The bigger the bait the bigger the fish' theory its because you haven't tried it, try baits in the 8" - 10" range. Also, one of the things that I do differently is that I use larger hooks than most of the guys that I fish with.

My setup usually consist of a size 2 circle hook with an equal size treble hook(trap hook, stinger, or whatever you want to call it).....yeah yeah yeah, I know it sounds like over kill but my theory goes something like: big bait, big hooks, big fish. I know Roby's recent catch goes against my theory but how often does someone catch a hali on a sabiki hook?
