Got an idea last night. I love topwater fishing, either fresh or salt doesn't matter. Has anyone tried a set up as this one, and if so how did it work. Great possibilities of catching two at a time.

I'm scared to death of free swinging trebels.  A single hook fly will work fine but it is still a danger.  I usually snell a foot or so of 60-80# mono off the back trebel and add a fly or a Mann's Stingray grub on a single hook (not a jig)

Two at a time isn't at all unusual.  We catch 2 Grouper at a time on a Stretch 25 or 30 darn near every trip down here.  When you get two big ones on a S-30, you get ripped off rings and hooks.

Last year about this time, Bass were schooling on Lake Rousseau about a mile from my house.  Fishing off one of the fishing docks there I caught 2 Bass on the same plug 4 times one morning.  It was absolutely frantic.

With the Chugbug or Pop-R with a grub behind it, I catch about 80% of the fish on the grub most days.  Redfish can eat a sub surface bait a lot easier than one on the top.

Life is too short to catch little fish.

So you drag a soft bait BEHIND the plug. I was thinking of in front as it looks like the plug is chasing the plastic. I'll set them up both ways and try them out.

In my younger years, we would take the big Devil's Horse in white, tie on 14 to 16 inches of mono and a white grub to the back hook.  Catch a lot of fish on the grub.  Also catch them on the horse.  Acts like a poping cork with hooks!
