the trouble with that rig is the sheer weight it can have.
its not something easily casted and it will grab onto oysters like an octopus so its best trolled like you were doing.
I see it as a trolling bait only because even if you use 1/8 oz heads on plastic swim baits your talking 4 or 5 baits and a weight of a full 1 1/2 oz plus trying to cast (3 oz plus for 1/4 oz heads) so you need stout gear for it which doesn't lend itself to be easy to fish by casting and can be quite a workout after 20 or so casts.
I have tried a daisy chain style triple rig and found good success with it but I don't think I could add more weight then that and fish it comfortably by casting, but that's just me
