why not - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

If I am fishing a mackerel on a dropper rig for halibut why wouldn't I want to put a big jig head on the bottom as the weight with a gulp shrimp on it or something like that? It seems to could cover all your bases that way but what do I know, I haven't caught a keeper halibut yet. So I'm throwing this out for the guys who do catch halibut and don't mind sharing their knowledge. I plan on hitting San Diego Bay next week and I'm thinking of trying this, any reason why it can't work?
