Makes sense wannabe.... I failed to take into account minnow swimming action. I don't use live bait so I forget that sometimes. I think this setup would work, providing the crappie could eat the top lure easily enough. The biggest advantage, for me being an artificial guy, is that things like the LFBS or bobby garland minnow will stick strait out and wiggle their little tails perfectly. They won't fall and point their faces to the sky unaturally.

On a bass drop should rig, I use that same Palomar knot setup only with a weight below it "bottom bouncing". The hook is on a taunt line, and I never have any hook up issues. But then again, they are larger, less 'paper' mouthed fish LOL.

I'll have to give it a try and see what works.
