I agree with all the prior posts; think small tackle (although I did catch a pike at Yuba on a double treble whole chub combo) and make sure you are using a little longer rod with a stiff backbone.
Another thing to remember is deeper you are fishing the more slack needs to be taken up before a proper hook set is effected. This is very difficult to achieve with the jawjacker as the rod is the only thing taking up the slack and trying to effect the hook set. Think, the deeper you fish the more action required to set hook.
