This question is for the halibut killers out there. I have recently started fishing braid(spectra) for halibut. I just use mono for leader line from the swivel to hook and swivel to weight, or as a very short topshot. Reason i pose this question is because i have been losing a lot of halibut lately and i am getting very frustrated. I have narrowed it down and this is the only thing that has changed since ive been fishing halibut over the years. Am i pulling hook because there is no stretch with the braid? Thanks for the help in advance im tired of laying into niice fish then nothing after a few good headshakes or runs.
