When tight line single pole jigging, I use yellow runner bands and make like a bobber stop. Slides up and down easily if you want to change depth, and easy for me to see.... Use the same thing above a slip cork... Add a bead above it if you need more to look at....

With 10-12' jigging poles spooled with straight mono I add a rubber bobber stop that stays by the reel, just where my hand holds the rod to mark how much line is out.
Another jigging pole is spooled with high viz fireline with a mono leader. I tie the leader to 4'-6'-8'. etc, and can use the connection as a reference, is it a foot out of the water, under the water, etc.
I also mark my jigging poles with paint between 9"-18" to measure fish, but can peel off line fairly accurately.

How big of a boat do you have? use painters tape on gunnell every 1or2 feet if you break your bait off its easy to lay line across the tape marks. make a slip knot
in line by reel stick a piece of thread thru knot by reel if you break off pull thread out then repeat.

My recommendation would be to mark the rod with the depth. Use some masking tape and sharpie and Place tape on the handle somewhere. Write the depth for that rod. If you want to change it cross it out and write the new depth. If you want the tape to last then use packing tape. If you want to be able to remove then use masking. If you are fishing in the rain packing tape and a grease pencil works well.

don't remember the brand, but there used to be a mono line that was red for 3 foot and hi-vis yellow for 3 foot for the whole spool

When the snow melts here in the north I will be experimenting with some 14ft rods with yellow tape spaced on the rod every 2 feet. Most of the lakes in my area are only about 10 feet deep on average with 16 feet a real hole. There are a few large and deep lakes but only a few. I figure in the deeper lakes I will need to hand feed the line using the yellow tape for measuring the line. We are limited to 3 rods per person in Pennsylvania. Pop
