Also, in the Great Lakes, it's common to have a lure on a down rigger (we'll act like the crankbait is the downrigger as it pulls itself down to 15 ft), then hook a line with a snap swivel connected on one end and a spoon on a snap swivel on the other end.
Drop the spoon in the water and it will travel down the line to the middle of the bow in the line, about halfway between the rod tip and the downrigger weight (crankbait). When a fish hits the spoon (or whatever you have used), it travels down the line to the crankbait and the fight is on.
VOILA! You are now fishing two baits on one rod. Doubles your chances by covering two layers of water.
