This is the way my uncle taught me many years ago by marking a two foot section and measuring that way!
When fishing deeper than my rod length I drop the bait to the bottom and then crank up a turn or two or three or four. This is super easy to duplicate, works best if all the reels have the same gear ratio and same models but doesnt have to be, just looking for a reference.
Thanks for all the replies and methods
I set the line to the end of my pole which is 14' then I just pull line off the reel two foot at a time and go 16, 18 and so on.

You can change your depth from deeper to shallow or vice versa with out even giving it much thought...hold the stop knot right at the water line you know what you have under it.
