Maybe the compound angle? That would be the only difference that I could think of.
Jet Divers or Smaller Dipsy's (with a reel counter) would give you exacting depth control - not sure how a sinker of any sort (in-line or 3 way) could do that (with or without a line counter).
We have great luck on Waterhen (deep summer walleyes) dragging a 20/30 jet diver in front of a lure.
I have also done very well on a dipsy diver for Lakers.
The Dipsy diver out fishes my rigger all the time !!!!
Most times (prairie fishing) me and my buddy just drag dipsys and leave the rigger collecting dust - just crank one Left and the other to the Right (direction and depth control).

I have used Dipsys for lake trout, but even with a line counter, I was never really sure how deep they were running, when I caught fish I just checked the line counter and duplicated it. How do you know exactly how deep they are running, or are you just going off the scale that comes with them?
