THAT WAS YOUR FIRST AND LAST MISTAKE.

2x, you already had her up, why tighten the drag????

If I stopped using every brand of line that I ever broke a fish on I would be fishing with a rope.

Quit fugging around with your drag!

Reminds me of the time I hooked up with a HUGE White Sea Yellowtail Hali-Ray. I had it almost to color once when it made another run. It was peeling off drag like there was no drag at all so I tightened it up and SNAP it was gone.

I got her up a few time. Not close enough to the boat to hit her with the gaff before she would run back down.

I hope this doesn't come off negatively but do a search on BWE for a post by Adi, Buttchaser, or GregAndrews on how to land a halibut. There is a YouTube video too I think. It should help a lot.

What's your address? I'll go dumpster diving for it in a heartbeat! Great product and getting harder and harder to find!

Hey CJ. I don't think you want that line it's old. I was told it has a shelf life. That's why it broke. I don't know where you live, but it's in every tackle store I've been in in SD. I just saw it today in both West Marine and Fishermans Landing.

I don't have any Halibut How To Videos on YouTube. Just check the forums for the article that Adi (Lamb) wrote on the subject. That is a great piece and can save most fishermen some Halibut heartache.

I know GregAndrews is a Halibut Slayer. I'll check that out on youtube.
