I read about one person who sets up a rig for two baits/lures on the same line. The basic setup is to have a 3-way swivel. On one line you have your deep bait. You put a 15' to 20' leader with a heavier torpedo weight. On the other line, you have another 15' to 20' leader with your shallower bait which would have no weight at all. I was thinking you could even put some kind of float on there to help give you more separation.
The idea behind this setup is that you have a chance to cover more depth (and potentially double your baits/lures in the water). My main questions would be:
1) Does it actually work? Do you really get separation in depth in the water, or does the trolling action pull them closer together.
2) How much trouble does it cause? Do you end up with tangles and problems when you actually get a fish on.
Anyone tried this?
