If you go with the traditional mackeral rigs (rather than sabiki) don't bother with the multi-color's. Get the clear tubes filled with silver mylar - they will outfish the multi-color 5 to 1.
This is more of a boat thing, but when I mac fish in the spring time for bait, I crush the barbs on the hooks. Not that I'm sporting, but by crushing the barbs they don't bleed much, the mouths don't get torn up, and I can get the rig back in the water faster.
When you get one on, give it a second before you reel in - they attack in packs.
