Halibut addiction - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

DanaYakAngler · 11-28-2018, 11:35 AM

I have been using a 3 way swivel with a trap set up lately. Seems 90% of the time the halibut are caught on the trap treble hook. So I see the importance, however it can be a bit much to deal with two hooks sometimes. I was wondering how many of you guys belly hook by the anal fin for the short strikes so common with halibut?

I like the Idea of trying the carolina rig when targeting buts.
