Why not use jet divers for early season fish?

[mtn. man]

You could add a trolling weight to your topline pole, that should get you down to those early season fish. they're usually in the top 20 ft. of water early on.

I have used divers, the ones I have are the slide rite lite bite, it works fine, you can set it so that a smaller fish will trip, (so you don't drag it for an hour unknowingly) but you need a heavier rod. It kinds takes the sport out of it.
I have a couple small removable downriggers, they work pretty well, within their limits. They are the best way to go, all things considered

I just got a boat and, will not be able to afford downriggers for a little while. I've heard some folks talk against jet divers and pink ladies. Why is that? Need enlghtenment.
