    I kind of like the idea. It makes me wonder if it would work for the big shellcracker if you used red worms or crawlers in this manner. Actually, I think it would work better for bluegill because the bait doesn't have to stay in contact with the bottom like it does when redear fishing.

    Coach, I do that all the time. I use a 2 jig set up with a 1/32 on the bottom and a 1/64 above. I use nibbles and slow troll close to good bream structure. I do this t catch a quick meal or have my wife with me.

    I HAVE PLENTY OF 1/32 ROAD RUNNERS FOR BOTTOM . COULD PUT PLAIN HOOKS ON TOP .OR MAYBE A 1/32 GRUB ,TIPPED WITH A WAX WORM ON TOP WITH THE ROAD RUNNER ON BOTTOM .

    I've talked to one of my fishing buddies about us trying it on a bed. If we could keep up with 8 poles it would be some kind of fun.

    I use a fly rod or ultra-lite on the bed but trying to cover more water(especially deep ) in a reduced amount of time .

    Never tried it, but it ought to work. Me and my dad used to do a version of long lining with 1/32 oz spin beetles to find the bream. Once found we'd go after them with crickets, but we'd troll the spin beetles to find them and it worked.

    I use a similar technique mid summer until mid fall when I'm looking for bluegill. I use 3 12ft crappie hunter rods with double rigged size 8 Aberdeen hooks a foot apart with a 1/2 oz. bell sinker below. Tip the top hook with a cricket and bottom with red worm or piece of night crawler. 3 rods out the front are easy to manage out the front of my very old sportsman II with my Minn Kota Endura 30 at very slow speed. On a good day I'll locate some nice ones then stop and pick up a few then move until the next good hit.
