My favorite Big Hammer colors for halibut are #13 baitfish, #19 olive herring (especially in clear water), #36 prizm shad (looks like a smelt), and I really like the look of the new color #8 glow sardine. #8 glow sardine is going to be hot anywhere any species.

I use Sea Wolf about 90% of the time. It seems to work in all conditions and it's nice not having to worry about what color to throw. Other colors I like and use are Wookie Wacker, Silverside, Pepper Trout, Mackerel, Green Sardine and 'Chovy.
