Because I have no appreciable shakedown experience on multiple bait/same rod fishing, I was wondering from the more experienced anglers their theory. The no-brainer factor of multiple baits(size, color etc.) should equal more fish is not really what I'm seeking. Things like lead bait vs. trailing bait(ie.-prey vs. predator positioning), shape/weight(smaller-sized lead bait vs. larger-sized trail bait), percentage of fish(1st bait 2nd bait)...in summary, is it worthwhile? Multiple knots, twice the chance of hangups, twice the downtime to re-rig etc.

Thanks in advance to those willing to share their thoughts
