Does anyone hand line walleyes on LOW?

Just wondering if anyone does this up there.I would think it would be similar to downrigging.Is it very productive or is it easier to just run 3 ways on a rod and reel?

Personally, I don't think you are going to match up well with the LOTW downriggers. They are running 6 lb balls and pulling up to 3mph in the summer. I would not mess around fishing one line on a HL set up either. Sure, you will catch fish with a HL, but the downrigger will outfish that set up all day long.
