How to fish in Sacramento river

[moo_bassmaster]

I found this video how to tie a dropper loop rig. [url "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbrj8c18v0g"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbrj8c18v0g[/url] It looks easy enough to tie but what type and size hooks should I use? Also I was at the Rite Aid store the other day and seen a package of shad in the fishing isle the pack said stipper bass on it so I was wondering if they would work instead of sardines?
