Here's a link to a method I like to use sometimes. Other times I just tie a crappie hook to 6# line and crimp a splitshot 6" above it.
You can hook the minnow just below the eye so you don't feel any resistance when the hook goes thru or thru the back just above the backbone.
Bass pro has a lot of neat articles like the one on the link.
