I use 60lb wire with crimps to attach my trailer hooks on any bait. I'd recommend 2 trailer hooks for small fish fishing like shasta. The exact details, I will let you determine through trial and error, but you can't go wrong with a premium hook like owner or gamakatsku.

The hudd is a no brainer. Chuck it out, get it to the depth range you think the fish are at and retrieve it. I think you will be extremely lucky to get a hudd fish at shasta right now, like you mentioned below, the bite sounds like it's in full on suck mode. With a team format, that might not be bad option though. Let your partner try to get a limit and chuck something big all day. It's just super tough on a big lake like that from a kickboat, you can't hit enough areas.
