well what you could do hairy is fish a 2 hook Pennel Rig and just bait up the top hook with lug for the whiting and cod are coming in you get a small whiting on the small hook and just leave it out there till a big cod comes in to eat it the chances are that he will take the big hook at the same time i have seen this done before and with a small whiting on a conger could come to eat it to
