50-50 method question

When using the 50-50, am I correct in thinking I should use a ( suspending ) type bait be it a shad or minnow type, therefor achieving desired depth by the weight of the lead attached with a clip ? and can this method be used to pull worm harnesses ?
Thanks again, Dennis
I found the Offshore Pro Weight & Snap Weight System chart, It says with a one oz. weight trolled at 1.5 mph the weight would be 14 ft. deep. If I use a bait that runs 8 ft. deep , that would put the bait at 22 ft. Great ! problem solved.
Thanks, Fisherman2 for the reply.

you can use any type bait it just means it will go deeper than the lure by itself
