The big difference I've found, this being my first year with my own downriggers, is that you can troll however slow or fast you want, and still be confident in your depth.

It will sure be nice to troll down 100' this summer for those deep silvers over 10 pounds along the west side of Whidbey.

I'll still do those early morning 1 oz trolls though with a cut plug. That's a blast
