With lead core you can reach another 10' in depth and create more bites by trolling in a zig zag pattern. You will also reach great depths by making turns that stall the line and lure temporarily. Both of these methods will allow the water resistance to lessen against the diameter of the line.
You can also buy keel or trolling weights. I prefer using these weights with swivels on one or both end to using leadcore as you can attach them to any rod and reel set up you are comfortable with trolling with. The nice thing about banana trolling weights is you can buy them in incremental ounce sizes and the fish isn't able to use the drag created by the lead core to pull off the hook. They are much cheaper and you don't fight water resistance to the line diameter as well.
