mixed baits on one hook - thought?

[ChrisD]

What is the general feeling on mixing baits on one hook?
For example I often put worms and corn on one hook, or worms and trout nuggets. I think it just increases the chances that multiple fish species will be attracted to the bait. While a friend of mine swears it does more harm then good.
Thought I would throw the question out to the wide experise of the group

may depend on what baits u use and what fish u are targeting i use worms with shrimp and yellowbelly love it

i went on a fishing charter in western port targeting KGW and we use a strip of squid just as a attractant and mussel as the primary bait, seem to work well.

Squid and mussel cocktail is the only bait I use for kgw, and helps the mussel stay on when casting too.

i have used a squid / pilchard cocktail for snapper, whether it works better I'm not sure, was more to hold the pillie on the hook!

I've put a whole pillie in a squid hood which worked well.

My brother got a nice cod on a worm/shrimp cocktail the other day. A lot of fisho's use mixed baits. Anything is worth a try.

Yeah I have done the same a pillie stuffed in one of those Californian squid tubes.
Caught a squid off merricks beach like that on a 7/0 circle. Squid didnt get hooked let go of the bait about a metre out so ran in and grabbed it.

some carp guys use powerbait and corn on one hook and they reckon you get more carp and occasionlly something else. never tried it myself though
