I hate using smelt for bait, they just aren't as lively or as flashy as mackerel

I usually rig them on a 3-way swivel hooked through the upper lip and out the nose and they just kinda do their thing, swim weakly around. How do you rig them and do you get much more action out of them?

The key to smelt rigging is light wire hooks I blew it and left them in the truck. I also like to use spectra and trap rig them for minimal resistance.
I feel skunked but I guess in reality I had the best day out of all with over 15 fish c&r haha and even a triple at one point, it was wide open! Lol
