What's a Trouble Hook?

Is it different than a trap rig?

Treble hook?

Respectfully, I didn't mean to be a forum grammar nazi. There is lots of slang used around here and I'm still learning :/

I look forward to the day I might be a local halibut pro, like some of the rest of you. I am working diligently toward this end.

Congratulations Duke. It's a beautiful fish. I'm envious :)

Most of the time I change my bait because I've had the same bait on for an extended amount of time, its rare that I change it because it turned. Also, a butt will have to swallow the entire bait in order to the hook to dig deep in the gut, I've seen happen but its extremely rare because of the way they attack the bait so using a single hook will not guarantee that a small butt will not get harmed
What size trap hook would you recommend? Do you use a hook as large as the front hook, or do you think a smaller treble hook will be just as effective, and less damaging to the bait?

I also prefer a trap hook for halibut. I want to avoid collateral damage to other fish as much as possible.

5mins two part epoxy worked the best for glueing skull bones back together, it helps to make a print of the teeth pattern on a piece of paper so jaw bones line up next time I will try 1min two part epoxy to cut down on the holding time....if you built plastic models as a kid you will totally enjoy this.
Bake head till bones fall apart put them in boiling water scrub with a tooth brush and dry bones....Google a skull picture to follow in the build first thing before you start....
