For hooks I run #12 trebles hooked right in the back by the dorsal fin with a few glow beads for color and usually a 6 or 8 lb leader. For jigging Buckshots and Pimples are good, I also like Jigging Raps in #5 and #7 and Shiver Minnows in #1 and #2. A lot of folks like lipless crankbaits like the Live Forage Rippin Shad and darters like the Salmo Chubby Darter or Lindy Darter, but I've personally never done much good on them. Blade baits are also an option.
On my tip-ups I normally run 10 lb fluoro leaders with #8 trebles or a #6 circle hook but unlike RapShack I am normally using 5-6 inch suckers. Last year I caught so many fish with Slender Spoons from Custom Jigs and Spins, was first year I used them. I always had 1 rod with 1/8 oz and another with 1/16 oz. The 1/16 oz is a great bait very versatile I caught bluegills, perch, crappies, white bass, and plenty of walleyes on them last year.
