I can't make a comparison, being I've only run lead core a few times. I'm pretty fond of planers, particularly for shallow fish. I just started using snap weights this year, after reading about them in "Precision Trolling". The 50/50 method works well for those shallower (10-30ft) fish, and its really easy. I like easy, especially if I'm trolling by myself or with my son.
Using a 3oz. snap weight, and trolling at about 2.0mph, we were getting the lines behind the boat down about 25ft. We caught most of the fish on these lines, so I assume they weren't boat shy. Hope it helps.
