Most common setup used is the Carolina Rigged 3" twister. Usually use 1/2 to 3/4 oz weight, depending on the current, with a 3-5 foot leader. My preferred choice for line is 10lb braid for my main, and 8 lb mono for leader. I like goin lighter on the leader so you only lose the floating jig if you get snagged.

Erie Deeries have a hook thats too big. Also, with the fast currents, live bait has a tough time staying on the hook. Both rivers have tons of snags and you'll be losing plenty of tackle so you're better off losing cheap jigs opposed to an expensive Deerie.

Anything that may catch fish is worth a try, but those methods seem to produce the most fish during the run.
