Halibut rig question - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

45user · 02-03-2014, 05:46 PM

So I am determined to land a legal halibut from the yak this year and need some help from all. I've been using Carolina rigged (1-2oz egg sinker) live bait rig with power pro main line and short 20lbs mono leaders with no success.(however hours on the water is probably a big contributor for my bad luck)
Anyways I would appreciate it if you can share with me what kind of rigs you use for halibut.
1. Lines- mono, flouro etc? What pound test?
2. Hooks- circle hooks? Trap rig? Regular live bait hook?
3. Baits - I used all kinds .. As whatever I catch on my sabiki
4. Sinker size?
And whatever else I am missing

Thank you for your help!
