Just curious why lead core AND down riggers?

Yes quite often. Many fishermen like the way lead line moves and presents their lure or fly. The long flowing movements of lead line especially in corners is liked by many over running straight mono or fluorocarbon.
Another reason lead is run off riggers is when bottom fishing for Lakers. Some will keep their rigger ball up 10’ from the bottom and run a couple colors of lead off the ball. This keeps your lure or live bait right on the bottom. This method works well when fishing on sandy flat bottoms especially when dragging a live shiner.
