We use 1/8 and 3/8 at Indian because it is shallow. I use the 1/4 to 1/2 at Alum. Can't go wrong with the standard silver blue, silver, gold, bronze, and any orange pattern.
You want to use a clip and not a barrel swivel with a clip. I will put a small barrel swivel about 16 inches up to reduce spinning of the lure. If it is to close to the lure you will lose vibration.
Jerk hard and let fall into the bottom. They usually have it on the fall. Sometimes i will stop it before it hits the bottom and pause before the next jerk. There are guys at indian who use 2 rods at one time and do real well. It takes practice.
Good Luck
