Destroyer I get where your coming from. Down riggers are great for placing the bait where u need to. Tony maja makes a great rig to run spoons with down riggers. Most wire line like Monel has a permanent sink rate so I know the depth with ease

Plus if I'm just using lures or spoons I can stack them on the downrigger wire with clips at different depths so I can fish 2 or 3 rods off each downrigger.
