You do when you're "Pushing" cranks and need to make a lot of S curves or sharp C turns, because you have less line out to get to the depth you want, which makes doing those turns easier & with less chance of lines getting run together & tangled.

The guys that I've fished with Pushing cranks used 2oz trolling weights and 5' leaders (of lesser # test than main line) and at speeds around 1.8mph
