i have also trolled with a down rigger but also i have trolled using rapalas with out the rigger and have done well for cutts and rainbows note i used deep divers that would dive to about 20 to 30 feet got them from sportsmans for under ten bucks
i would put them out about 100 feet or so and they seemed to do well
that means you can use your down rigger at 40 to 50 feet
and troll with your rapalas at 15 to 25 feet
you can put 2 lines on your rigger if you have the extra release set one at 45 and the other at 25' we did it at the gorge and did ok
i have never realy tried to jig yet hope to do well
