Brine & Bait for Meat rigs

Recently I was reviewing post's about Brine for cut baits using meat rigs. I've used meat rigs in the past but only with artificial baits. I'm curious as to the process of brining and what

type do you use for lake Ontario. Is there a preferred brine and cut bait for Lake O. What would be the preferred method of rigging the meat rig with this brined cut bait??

All replies are appreciated.

I buy whatever cut bait strips they sell at my local shop.  Some people like the whole bait.  But it takes more experience and knowledge to get the right roll with it.  As for brine...I use fire brine by pautzke.  I soak my strips in a zip lock bag the night before I fish.  Usually 12-24 hours is best.  It adds color, scent and firms it up so it doesn't fall apart.
