Use a set up that you can cast accurately (don't need heavy lb. test line). Don't want to scare them off with multiple cast or taking too long to present the bait.

Bait should be something you can bounce of the bottom (not reel in). Keeps the bait in striking distance longer, especially with an accurate cast.

Something else about redfish, they are built way different than bass. Their mouth is low and small, and they're really built to eat stuff that's below their head. It's beneficial to get the bait down below the fish because they'll generally have an easier time getting a good strike on it. You usually need to be way further out in front of them than you think to get bit.
