Slipperyfoot,

I don't like line counters cause not everyone will set them correctly from the get go and some times get reset during and after a battle with a fish or net job.In the ocean or bouy-10 I can go out pull's and still get what I need,in the river's for plug rods I can mark my braided line with either a marking pen or a bobber stop that will not slide on braid so there is no chance of resetting the distance your looking for.My thought is @ bouy-10 with a line counter people seem to put out to fast cause all they have to do is look @ the counter creating more tangle's versus putting out pull's which is slower less tangle's more time in the water.It seem's that line counters would work best if every one on the boat used them and they were all in tune on how to use them/set them so you can have some type of consistancy other wise it's kinda like having two guy's pulling plug's while the other's are trying to side drift.Good luck,
SZ
