I think it would work fine for schoolies but I frown upon targeting schoolies both from a health of the fish perspective and a desire to limit their knowledge of hooks while they are too small to take for the table. I made a similar rig maybe 10 years ago that consisted of 2saltwater spinner baits I epoxied together and put 2 storm shads on it but I never caught with it. I'll post a picture when I find it. It didn't cast real well and occasionally foul hooked so I retired it due to lack of confidence (I made it so I assumed I got it wrong
) maybe I will get it out again now that I can troll it from my yak. Here's a crappy photo of a spreader I tried and another brain fart where I removed the deep swimming lip and tried to make the plug look like more than one fish.
