Anyone else do this?

I have always had pretty good luck using a dropper, a plain hook and minnow 4 inches below the spoon. So this year I am going to try taking a larger spoon - up to a half ounce rattles - take the hook off and put a smaller spoon 4-8 inches below with a minnow attached to it. Does anyone else do this or have tried it? My buddies think I am nuts but every time I have done it with a plain hooks it's worked so I don't know why putting a small spoon below wouldn't work. Then again most things work up on LOW. Does anyone else have an funny ways of rigging their lures that has proven to work in the past? I have also heard of people putting a rattle spoon on the top (W/out the hook because that would be illegal) and then attaching a small jigging rap below but I have yet to try it.

This also got me thinking......why not take a large flashy lake trout spoon and use it as the attractor - up top - and attach a walleye size spoon below???

I realize I am making things difficult but I like to goof around with stuff like this.

Beast. Nothing unusual about this at all. Been doing it for many years - in several applications. This is a great way to "lure" in pike under a tip-up. A big live sucker a couple feet under a flashy spoon works awesome. I think the movement of the sucker minnow causes the spoon above to spin and flash in all directions.

Can use the same technique, scaled down, for walleyes and saugers, as well as panfish on a smaller scale yet.

I also believe having the spoon attached a couple feet above the bait and hook adds to the "action" of the bait when gently jigged. A spoon will flutter from side to side and impart a wounded swimming action to an otherwise pretty stable bait.

Frustrating thing is watching em' on electronics when they swim up and smack the "attractor" rather than the bait below.
