IMO a downrigger would be much more of a hastle.
You would have a hard time tripping the plainer if you could trip it.
You would also have to clear it out of the water and move it out of your way.
The plainer rod allows you to use the plainer in line. No extra stuff to clear out of the way. Crank the plainer up, unsnap it and go back to cranking the fish up.
Very simple and easy to use set up.
Its an AWESOME rig.
