Thats 95 ft from where your line hits the water

thanks and do yall cast these out as far as you can ? or do you set in rod holder hand cranks off the side and start pulling line out?,,......if i cast them out and my rods will be off the side of the boat do I cast towards the back of the boat or cast straight out the side of the boat?

I dont cast......I just let the line out......I use line counter reels....I let the line out with the rod in the holder the chart distance.....then I estimate line distance from rod tip to where it enters the water and then let out that much more line.

I cast mine, i start with the inside short pole first, after i hook a fish , i cast it back out behind the boat.

I've seen some clip-on line counters that attach to the rod. Are they any good? Thanks.

Verdict seems to be no.

Not really Randy....accuracy is not good......You can buy Okuma line counter reels at Northwoods Wholsale for 33 bucks Okuma Magda Pro Line Counter MA-15DX
