I would think it would work for summer, deep-water fish. I know a couple of lakes that have rock piles rising out of 50-60ft to 18-20ft. Setting the lures at different depths and making a couple of passes sounds like a quick way to determine how they are relating to the structure.
I will let you know how it works.
Got a friend that does it. Down sizes the jigs and doesn't go slow.
I do a small scale version of it with my kayak. Now that we can have 3 lines it is even better. I can cover more of the water column to search. I use 3 poles, a 4 1/2 footer, a 6 1/2 footer and a 13 footer. The 13' is just a pole whereas the other 2 or rod and reels. I start the 13' footer set deepest out the front of the kayak with 2 jig an plastic combos of different colors and spaced about 18 inches apart, with the lowest jig about 18 inches from the bottom. I do the same with the other 2 just starting one of them 18 inches above the previous with different colors and plastics on all. This gives me 6 bait combos at 6 depths. When I pick up a couple fish I cut back to one or two poles and switch to whatever baits were being hit at the particular depth they were being taken at. I often can only handle one rig once I find the bite as 2 rigs with a good bite can be a lot to handle in the kayak. I have managed to do real well over the years using this method for finding gills before and after the spawn. Even in prior years when we were only allowed 2 lines. It has been my prefered searching method for many years.
