If you could run 2 lines would you run 2 suckers at different depths or one sucker and cast an artificial?

Depends on the mood of the fish. I have been to a lake and used up 5 suckers by noon, go there the next weekend catch fish but the suckers were ignored all day. They both work its just a matter of when.

still not an exact science but the colder the water gets the better two suckers might be.

Todd is right on---let the fish tell you---start with 1 of each and see whats going on. I have had it both ways on the same lake just days apart. But the colder water gets---the more time I spend with the suckers..

My person feeling is that if you are not casting you are relying on being directly over a fish to get your bait in the strike zone. I try to go very slow working jerk baits in to the sucker. I literally bring the bait with in a foot of the sucker line in front of me and make a turn rather than a full eight. Just my method but works for me. If you are doing it right, your sucker is maintaining a vertical line( unless being chased). Work your baits slow with lots of pauses. If you don't see any fish but your suckers are getting bit you might go to only suckers. In my opinion the sucker is only half the system.

This time of year one sucker and jigging a Fuzzy is very very hard to beat.

That's good advice, jigging a bulldawg can be a great tactic in fall.

On Madison chain last November I never through a cast the entire month. Due mostly to a elbow problem. Boated 12 fish that month. All of them on suckers. I don't think dragging two suckers hurt me a bit. But whose to say if I was able to cast I couldn't of caught a few more?

I would use 1 sucker and 1 lure on boat. Two suckers if I am on shore!
