I tend to be more of a live bait rigger myself and I RARELY use anything larger than a #10, or at most a #8, hook tipped with a fathead minnow and the sows seem perfectly content to chase them down faster than the shiners on a #6 hook through the rear of the dorsal fin I use on occasion when I feel like chasing a pike or two.
