Set up wise I would say eiter get the pre made rigs or use carolina keepers. The keepers are the easiest way and a major time saver in crumch time. I always use a 7 ft or longer medium heavy rod with a 6.3 or higher reel. I like being able to bring in line quickly on long or really deep strikes. Bait wise the selection is unlimited. Brush hogs or rage's version are great. I've had good success kn rage tail craws as well. Large ribbon tails also seem to work well. Anything that creates a lot of ripple when pulled a distance. I always varythe time and speed I pull until I find what the want on a particular day. I haven't trie it yet but I have a feeling that a missile baits tomahawk will end up being a great bait for a carolina rig.
