Rated 4 out of 5 by Kel22 Son loves it
Purchased this for my part of my son's fishing gifts. He loves measuring and was so amazed that he could see how deep his line was from this device.

With the high cost of braided line, I use the line counter to fill my reels half way with mono & then use the balance with braided line.
The line counter also comes in handy when jigging for tuna!

Not much to say about these counters other than they really don't work worth a darn.Try the Shakespear counters. While their not flawless performers they do work most of the time .

A:
The device requires it to be mounted on something rigid like the end of the rod. The rod is what depresses the button under the device to turn it on.
A:
No, you will get a lot of kinks and the motor is not equipped to handle this job. I use wire in trolling for speckled trout, it get the lure down near the bottom. When I need to take it off, I walk across the street and tie it off to a tree and press the cast lever and walk back to my garage, cut it and using gloves wind it up over a cut of wooden dowel and discard or use it for baling wire to tie my tomato cages together.Q:

Is this suitable for jigging for trout? Is the friction too much to drop a rig with just a 1/2oz sinker?
Answers
A:
Can not say for sure, becaus I have never used it tor that. I do not think it was designed for that type of use but each to their own.

will this line counter work on 80lbs tes line for tuna fishing?If not will it work on braid line and what tes?Answers
A:
You can use it on 80# braided line.A:
I don't know what the limits are on the strike indicaters, but I would say that if you are using a superline that it would be ok.
A:
It will work with 80 lb. test mono or braid.Details:
would work on a surf pole 9 or 10 foot pole and how would you mount this on the poleAnswers
A:
No.
A:
You could mount it on a surf pole, but I don't think that this is an ideal use. I think the counter will greatly decrease your casting distance since the line has to pass through a very tight area on the counter. I use this line counter for trolling only, and it works very well for that purpose.Answers
A:
Yupsave money & go 50% mono backing & the 50% braided line.

A:
Yeah if you get one thats accurate
A:
I've not tried this, but it should work. The counter will be upside down on the rod, so you will have to stop spooling to check the counter. As long as the line is coming off the line spool the same direction that it is going onto the reel spool, line twist shouldn't be an issue.Answers
A:
i bought a line counter and found its diffucult to use for anything but filling my reels with the line winders i bought, now i always know how much line i'm putting on my realsA:
no aftermarket line counter is made to work with spinning reels. They will, if you're ok with the line counter mounted on the bottm of the rod near the tip so the line can run through it correctly. But the it is not only facing the ground, but is all the way near the tip, better have good eyes. They work wonderful for conventional reels, when set up properly. It won't work right outta the box, you need to tune it for YOUR rod, reel, and line diameter1 of 1
