With jigging raps I have always had the best luck with a minnow head on the last hook. Seems it is big enough for some good scent but small enough not to hamper the action of the rap.

If fish are aggressive don't waste time adding bait get it back down. The bite will not last all the long. If they come in and show interest and swim off add bait.
In the memory of "Team Lighting" Fish ON!
No one ever says,"Man that fish tastes small.
Thank you Lord for thinkin bout me. I'm alive and doin fine!!!!!!

Minnow head, bottom treble has worked best for me.

I've also used perch eyes, the back portion of a minnow(on rear hook), and wax worms w limited success just because I ran out of heads
Selective harvest works!
