Honestly not much of a spin casting river fisher. Haven't done much of it. More of a lake and (river) fly fisherman...
I hate Pickerel rigs although acknowledge why guys use them...

I use about 14in or so of line to the hook. It suspends the bait nicely and gives it a nice flutter in the current.
Pickerel rigs are effective, but messy (both in rivers and tackle boxes) and the materials are very cheap.
