Why is it that for Halibut you have to have your drag looser than when you fish for other fish? Like I said before, I am new to this sport. I've gone out 4 times this year and I love being out their.
Halibut Tend to shake there Head when hooked and can shake the hook , The bigger the fish The More Power in the Tail , I've had Hooks straighten out due to tight drags . I think it important to have a rod that can absorb the head shakes along with a smooth drag.
