Would you rather fish downrigger or lead line?

Since you rarely should be "setting the hook" when trolling, I don't see much difference in the sporting aspect. Actually, yes I do. It is more fun fighting a fish on mono than bulky old lead core, plus mono's forgiving stretch saves more fish than lead core. I certainly do see a big difference in the ability to locate fish, however. Lead is not that precise, when considering turns, speed, etc. Give me my Penns any old day!! Mike
