Two Fold Question:

[Devildawgjj]

I know this might sound amateurish in the most rudementary form, but can you use a droper loop on braid, with a mono/floro leader of about a 2ft for the hook?

And what kind (shape) of sinker would be best suited for drifting? I know current, depth, and bottom dictate; but I'm just curious what kind of weight(s) is used most frequently for halibut.

Note: I use a carolina keeper quite frequently, but I haven't for drifting.
