Depth Mark's on rods

[parratt1]

Hey all,
I'm sure this is not my idea nor nothing that hasn't been thought of, but while fishing with a buddy the other day, he asked me how deep I was. I said well, I think about 15 feet. I thought about it more as I got home. I use 9 foot Sam Heaton rods, and I used a paint pen to make a line at 1 foot and 2 feet from the reel face. So I can let my jig down to the butt of the rod for 9 feet and pull precisely each foot or 2 using the marks to go deeper. Shallower than 9 feet? Just start stripping using the marks as depth guides. $2 paint pen from walmart and about 2 minutes per rod.
