Here are a few pictures of the halibut rigs I've been using. These are quite heavy duty and last a long time. As you might notice quite used. The elastic thread piece bits as from tying on bait PCs that may not have skin or like herring quite soft.
Gary you might want to check out the hook release used by some of the sharkers. Daron has one that is long enough to keep away from the teeth. Dominick
I have a few 24" dehookers left.
