Need helps deciding on LCs for halibut

[WAHBAM]

So my sweet gf got me a $50 gift card for basspro & turners. I plan on fishing for halibut from the jetties around Long Beach, Bolsa Chica, Seal Beach pier, & Belmont pier. From what I read on this forum is that you want to use a suspending lure & add a trailer treble on the tail.

Also do I still have to use a carolina rigs or a reverse dropper line right? Or do I just tie it directly to the line? I am using 14 lb flourocarbon line on a spinning uglystik combo

I was about to pull the trigger on LC flash minnows 110 sp til I saw this :

Always cool to get a giftcard for some fishing supplies.

Try one of these..

There's not a whole lot of pattern selections from BassPro, but from that link, the MS American Shad or Aurora Black are good patterns. Turner's may have more of a selection. You can never go wrong with a Sardine pattern.

Also, 14lb fluoro on a spinning setup may be a little too stiff for flinging LC's. I personally use 12lb mono on my setup and it works great. Hope this helps.

Thanks, I was gonna buy one of those for sure. Just looking at other lures to mix it up. Do you use still use weights with it?

Did you read Wingnuts LC sticky post ?
Lots of great info there.
110 Metallic Sardine is a good one.

Yeah I did, he did a great job. I'm a total noob at this, I'm trying to get ready before my first try.
