Small block of cheese on bait holder hook. Works a treat.

Fair few right at the top of the finniss fresh, tiniest lures, plastics or hardbodies you can cast effectively, they're cranky little things doesn't take much to get them to hit

If I may ask, why are you targeting them? Are they top for sport? Are they tasty?

Fresh water species will nip the all forgotten/underrated garden worms. I may suggest try it for bait. Float or light / minimal sinker rig may do the trick. Experiment :D , you'll be catching them.
