sounds like a good idea, my pike lake is also a splake lake, but i will have to check the regs in my area, for some reason I think it would not be leagal for me to tie on two hooks, at seperate depths, as it would count as seperate lines, and since most lakes are only allowed two lines (some 1 line) this method would not work for me....I need to dig into it..i like the idea...
