Hello, bassresource family! Looking for help to double up on my worm and jig rods

I currently have a set up for worms 3/8oz or less

8-20

1/8-1

 

Now I was wondering if just doubling this rod would be effective  or should I look at getting a heavy action rod.

 

I'm just looking to cover all my bases 

Do you feel the need to fish heavier weights?  If you do, then the next rod heavier might add capability. If you don’t, then another of the same will add redundancy and allow rigging two different things for the same purpose (ie a jig and a Texas rig) to fish the same spots at the same time.
