I wouldn't see why not. No reason not to have a 2nd rod in the water. I would first make some bait, and get a mac out on a fly line. Then while you drift of troll, drop the jig. The only thing with the YO-YO is that it's tiring. At least with a flatfall, you have time to rest while it falls. Since I slow jig it back up, allowing it to make more falls, as I bring it up the water column, the reeling part is much easier on energy conservation. I picked up a couple nice bass on the small shimano flatfalls, my last time in LJ. I'll be jigging the Hook UP Bait next time I am out. With a fly line mac out back.
