I am going to try them on a downrigger with braid this year. It might not work as well because the performace of big spoons has a lot to do with a soft rod. I might be able to get it to work on a downrigger with an Aftco Roller Troller snap instead of a pinch snap, the roller trollers don't pinch the line, the line runs along a stainless wheel on ball bearings and the tension in picked up on the rod... So the downrigger weight is not directly influencing the spoon... It may or may not work out. Won't know until you try.

No one in my family wants to touch a wire rod anymore(except me)...it is not comfortable to fish with, too much like work.
