Just Fishing Lures

Rigging up a lure for sandbass.?

I was told to use a deep diving lure tied to the line from the pole, then attach a 3 to 4 foot long piece of fishing line to the front treble hook of the deep diving lure with a spinner bait tied to the end of it, and cast out behind the boat and troll with it slowly. Does it really work?
attaching the line to the front treble hook makes the lure dive deeper.
I tried it today, was catching two at a time!!!

I, myself, have never heard of a rig like that. I suppose it would work but I can just imagine the tangled mess you would end up with being the line is tied to the front hook. Maybe the back hook would work better.
I have used the big rapalas before in the green or the blue mackerel colors. I thing CD 16s? They are about 10-12 inches long and have caught only big bull bass with them. That was at the north end of Huntington Flats toward Horseshoe kelp. I never again found that spot but then again sandbass fishing isn’t what it used to be after the oil spill from the ship.
