I use surface missiles from TFG all you need is a size 11 swivel and a surface missile, and you don't even need to strike the fish pull away and then the swivel goes inside the missile and hooks the fish it works every time on especially shy fish. On the bait all i use is a scopex soft floating hooker no hair rigs just straithg on the hook (make sure the hook point is showing).
