As far as a rig goes I use a single hook with a bell sinker 1/2 to 1 oz I buy the tru-turn pre tied 2's or 4's hook it and the sinker to my swivel. I also run 15 pound power pro. I used to use spreaders, crappie rigs, skipper 9 rigs they all work just fine, I just prefer the single hook the best. it's basically like a skip9 rig but with only 1 hook.
