What's best snap weights or core for in-line planner use?

[Trout Bum]

I currently use snap weights of in-line boards and have then in weights from 1/2 oz. to 3 oz. My line is 15# big game. I put the weigh on the snap swivel at the end of the 15# big game and then attach a 5-6' leader on to the weight with lure at the end.

I always fish alone and am therefore limited to 3 lines. My normal setup is rigger with cheater off of the port stern, wire out port side and in-line planer out starboard side. I do not want to go to 2 wires.

I've read a lot on this forum about lead core.

Would the lead core work better than snap weights?

If so, how could I rig a core to work for different depths without having multiple rods and reels with different numbers of core on them?

Thanks for your help. I am still learning the big lake tactics but having a ball.

Wire dipsey does everything you want, in one set-up. Not gonna be too versatile with cores or coppers unless you bring a bunch of different lengths. Although you could use some different sized dive bombs to change depth. Snap weights are like wizzing in the wind unless you are fishing shallow waters.

In place of the snap weights you could try Torpedo Divers, same idea but fancier and they have depth charts to help you figure out where your lure is.
