For channels in lakes I use the carolina rig mostly, if fishing from the bank. Weight usually depends on what part of the lake I am at and how far I need to cast. I use up to two ounces. Using cut bait, I rarely have any problems with a fish not taking off with it. I also use shimano baitrunners, which the bait runner tension can be adjusted, and they are very easy to pull on the lightest setting. And like mexicanthreat said, light line, i use a nine foot master custom striker, and recently got a seven foot ugly stick i am trying out, with twelve pound mono. Casts very well and awful far. I run a swivel with about a 12 inch leader to a 6/0 gamma circle hook. I like a swivel with cut bait because the bait can twist in the water either with current or reeling it in.
Flats I use a carolina rig. Depending on what size of bait depicts what size of sinker. Carolina rig with a 10/0 gamma circle. Or a slip bobber rig. I am not an accomplished flat fisherman by any means, but those two methods are the ones that has treated me the best.
