lures almost always out fish plain bait rigs in most situations that i've seen, fresh and salt.... especially if you're tipping your jig with bait or using a teaser with plain bait (which you should usually anyway imo).
I tie a dropper loop above my jig for seabass and if they aren't aggressive on the jig i'll just let it sit on the bottom and basically turn it into a bait rig for a few seconds. see what they prefer any given day... this way the jig rig can double as a bait rig if needed. you can't attract fish in with a bait rig like that
