Lead Core VS Down Rigger

[jacksonlaker]

The biggest advantage of downrigging is exact depth of your lures. I can see the downrigger balls on my fishfinder so i know exactly how deep my lures are. With lead-core, you are only guessing. Sometimes, bringing the balls up or down a few feet can make a difference in hook-ups. You can also use very light tackle with the riggers, not the tuna rod you need for LC.
