Been using slip sinkers on all of my snells and am thinking about trying bottom bouncers. Any advantages of either setup?

I like to use lindy "NO SNAGG" Slips for most jig & small bait aproaches, but there seems to be a bigger advantage using bottom bouncers for larger baits such as cranks in the deep water. I feel the need for both of them equally. Bottom bouncers do help out your lure depth adjustment, they make it little easier. Actually I could go on and on about the different times I use both, but that would take way to long. I guess to sum it up, both have there correct times of usage. I'm sure others have lots of applications with both. Maybe they can give a few more. Gotta go back to work. Good luck!!!
Use slip sinkers is you are moving slower. Use bottom bouncers when moving faster or when there is lots of snags. You need to be able to keep a 45 degree angle from your rod tip to the bouncer.
