I have used jigging spoons with good success but I have to say the original hooks were too small. I used some 1/12 Kastmaster that come with a #10 or 12 treble. Hooking up wasn't the problem, but the bigger ones almost always pulled free before being netted.. Drifting with them suspended worked good, they didn't take them when jigged like you would do for white bass. A #6 regular hook has been installed on them but not tried yet. 2 1/2lb Spotted bass like em fine too and liven up the day just fine.
