Used leadcore for many years. My first 2 downriggers were Scotty's manual. My catching increased since I was able to control the depths better. These I used for a few years, then went to my first electric downriggers. After a couple of short years with electrics, I was then into stacking 2 lines per DR. This became a headache working with 2 DRs keeping 4 lines set for myself and wife. I would set the lines for her making sure she did the catching. She was unable to set lines with her disability. Stacking became a constant chore between drive-by hits & false releases having to keep pulling up a rigger to reset both lines. I got to the point a couple of times to just take a break to set DRs with one line each. It didn't take long to add 2 more electric DRs which life on the boat became more relaxing. I never used a Pink Lady, Dipsy Diver, or a Jet Diver(think that's what its called). Downrigging became the best way for me to get to those depths.
What are your thoughts on depth control?
