Halibut - Killer Jig
This lure was one of the first baits we came out with and was designed specifically to target Halibut in the Bay Area. The incredible action this lure has with the combination of the twin tail swimbait and plastic hoochie skirt really sets this jig above and beyond just a standard swimbait presentation. The compact profile of the 2oz and 4oz versions are perfectly bite-sized for inshore California Halibut and the 6oz and 8oz sizes are incredibly popular for fishermen targeting the larger Pacific Halibut to the north. Just a simple vertical jigging action is all you need to do to catch fish on this bait. Letting the bait fall on slack line will cause the bait to drop more erratically than when the line is tight. Drop straight to the bottom, lift up a foot or two, and drop back down. To specifically target Halibut try fishing Firetiger, Glow or Orange. Bites on these jigs are really exciting to get and when you have some fish in the area you can really put a lot of fish in the boat.
