Where do Yall order this from. All the prices I've seen are pretty expensive for 500ft. Need enough to to do 6 reels. I will have more money in line than I do the baitcaster reels it looks like.

preach on slabin, get the reels. you are gonna end up getting them anyway. you thank slabin with a twinkie later. he luvs them
I agree, look in the sticky thread at the top under cranking 101 on the last page you will find a post where feelay found some line counters for $25 each. I bought 4 of them and had them in two days. Haven't tried them yet, but they seem well built. I'm a mono man personally, but that's beside the issue.
Well dang!!! I just ordered 6 new baitcasters 2 weeks ago. Im stuck with the line for now. Live an learn. Thanks guys.
I just bought a 1500 yard spool of Power Pro Depth Hunter line in 40 pound and just can't bring myself to put it on my reels yet. After seeing some massive tangles with mono, I fear what those same tangles will look like with the braid. I will end up putting it on the reels I use when not having clients in the boat pulling cranks to see if I can live with it. I know several here love it.
You will be fine Xpress with the bait casters and depth hunter line, there will be several chime in before long and show us all the errors of our ways... Lol... the marked line works from what I hear. :-)
I just pick some up off Amazon. I filled 6 reels for less than $40. I only put 200 feet on each reel. I am just starting out pulling cranks and had some old reels laying around and it was cheaper to go with the depth hunter. That way I could spend all my money buying bandits. I have not had a chance to try it out yet but will be on KY lake in a few weeks.
All sounds good. I have heard a lot of mixed feelings about line counter reels. I feel like the line will fit me better than new reels. I have been pulling cranks for a while with mono an always took a sharpie marker with me an marked my line with it. Never knew how much line was out but did know where to put it back out. Thanks for all the input.
Everybody has their own thing or own way....Its all good. I like my line counter reels tho....Got 12 of them....ten old ones and two new ones. I like mono line too.
I've been using the depth hunter line for about 5 years. It works perfect.
I use depth hunter with no complains, but have 12 DX-15s with hi vis 30/8 I use most of the time fo cranking
I guess I'm a hybrid cranker. I use line counter reels plus depth hunter line for two reasons. First, if line counters stop working I can still fish accurately using the line. Second, using the line lets me know exactly the amount of line out from the line tip to the waters surface. Good thread going here.
