Long lining?

Do yall use the counter reels when long lining???

rees, thats something Ive never done, but would like to try sometimes.

No

Most folks just use spinning reels and cast out the back of the boat as far as they can. Then depth can be controled two ways.....either let more line out or reel some in. Most of the folks that I have talked to just vary their speed to control the depth....slow down to go deeper or speed up to run shallower.

Yep +1

nope--a bit less than a standard cast--and use weight depending on wind

Me neither T-man, how do you repeat what you had done. When slow trolling you put out a known amount of line and some thing with pulling or pushing cranks. Why wouldnt you use counters long lining??

Talk with gabowman....I think all he does is longline
