Hey JC...
I used to do this every so often up in Utah on some of the smallmouth lakes. I'd use a football jig on the bottom and a worm up about 12-15". When you do this though, you're going to want to make sure and use one of the small wide gap hooks for your drop-shot bait. Because if you get bit, you don't know which bait is being eaten. If the jig is being eaten, you're going to want to be able to get a good hook-set, instead of just reeling and sweeping up like you would do when using the drop-shot hooks. Make sense? And yes, I have caught two fish at the same time on this rig before. Two smallmouths...a 2.5lber on the jig and then a fiesty 14" ate the worm right after I set the hook on the jig fish. I was watching the whole thing...
