There is one more thing to consider and that is the fact that any setup that requires speed to maintain depth without sinking can result in snagged lures, dipsys, inline wts, or bottom bouncers when fishing over the reefs or rocky bottom. Once the line out from Reel to (Dipsey, inline wt and lure) exceeds the depth of the water, snags become more likely while making a turn or slowing down or stopping to land a large fish simply because they sink like a rock.

If you snag a line on the inside of a turn you then have to make a choice of to stop and maybe snag other lines that are wt dependent or simply break off the snagged line and continue. The Jets and Tru-Trips are floating divers when not in forward motion and either remain neutral or slowly rise to the surface eliminating most of the snagging potential.
