Ninja,
I've only used the sabiki rig a few times. It's got 3 hooks with little feathers on them. No other bait on it. This time it was just sitting in the water at about 8 ft. while I fished my other rod. The macs just grabbed it. I've got a 2nd rod with me that I use for it and other types of fishing.
There's probably a ton of guys on here that can give you more info. on how to fish it, bait it, etc. I'm pleading ignorance and dumb luck.
