I dont see why not especially if you think there might be a good fish around but also want to catch smaller species, fishing one big hook and bait and one small hook and bait, the only problem is you might end up catching the big fish on the smaller hook which could pose a problem if you are fishing from a height or in a heavy surf...

all me thinkin was gary that if there is fish about,regardless of size it just makes the day that bit more enjoyable dont it, plus i'm tryin to get a mate into it so wouldnt wanna sicken him off on one of the maiden trips, it'll be just tryin to keep him interested like

it'll be clean beach with most likely very little surf, only takin the bass gear so only light leads,if it gets too much i'l head for one of the estuary's up or down from us

the other rod will be ledgering or even both may be,not sure yet just gonna have a dabble, fishing new grounds so lookin forward to it,gonna reckie it this weekend with our lass and see what the crack is

Sounds good big fish can still be landed on small hooks just look at them carp lads for instance, so with a bit of luck if the big fish takes the smaller bait intended for the smaller species its still possible to land it, just that heavy swells and fishing from a height can make it a daunting task..

Good luck...

thought maybe a size 2 and a size 2/0 would probs suit,probs fishing around 2.5oz of lead max and at close range lol
