Looks like a good rock snagger. Also, the main line is going to take a beating along the bottom like that. I think it might work OK on a drift but 3 way'ing seems more direct. Give it a try and let us know....

I am seriously thinking of getting a cannon digi troll IV downrigger. You can outfit it with a depth transducer which allows automatic bottom tracking. You can set your weight to track the bottom X amount of feet off the bottom. You can then keep your bait/lure right where you want it. (in theory)
I don't know anyone who has used it but it sounds like exactly like what I want. The nice thing about this is there is no weight on the rod...just a hook or plug
It could be an expensive experiment....
