I was thinking about using live bait to catch some bass but never have before. Any tips on bait or rigging?

Use big shiners hooked through the eyes.

Use shiners on a light jighead or just a crappie hook.hook em under the head thru the top.fish em under a cork up against the bank and work it out slowly with steady pops of ya rod tip. Good luck

shoot bruh.. i aint no bass fisherman..never claimed to be nor will i ever be....but my uncle is hardcore into it..and he says you go get you a bag full of them big ole gold fish from wal-mart..and hook them through the lips...and dump them off in some lilly pads...he claims that this is the way he has caught the 5 fish hanging on the wall in his house..all ranging from 10 - 14 lbs.

Behind the dorsal fin, so they will swim..if shiners, dont go below the line (you'll see) Shiners work well under a cork with a straight shank crappie hook, 2 split shots, and a cork..Fish creeks,sloughs,wharfs,etc.
Hope that helps...Not much experience with bass fishing with live bait, but When i go to catch white perch on that rig, i catch bass

Live crawfish is also very good to catch bass.
