I've been using the white cannon manuals with the stainless spool lined with power pro instead of wire (doesn't whine like the wire) and have been very pleased. Couldn't afford the electric but the manuals work very well. In my opinion, downriggers will allow you to troll your live baits down deeper at places such as the edge and large ship wrecks in that area. You will be able to catch fish such as AJ's and kings more effectively. You can also send your baits down around wrecks and use your boat to drag large AJ's outbefore they cut you off.
