I rig them on 1 oz. jigs for the canal. I found that the Bass Pro shop has 1 oz. bullet head jigs that have REALLY durable hooks. I was using Wallyworld jigs, but they tended to bend on larger fish.

The best method is the old "low and slow" way. The way it was described to me when I first started using them was "When you think you're reeling them slow enough, slow down even more!"

Their only true enemies are shorts and blues.
Shorts because of lack of hookup, and blues because of the resulting lack of a lure when they chomp it off.
