Do you have to use a ghg decoy shell stake to get the best results?

My ? would be if you start at the end of your pole & calibrate the reel from there, what about the extra 5 ft. or so of line using a leader to the lure so as a worm harness. Is that figured in the equation or it could be 5 ft. more then the line counter starts off with.

Only issue with this is yes this works and is accurate but after rolling a while and after pulling fish after fish that line snugs tighter together in the spool therefore changing the feed diameter and throws calibration off

I like those real motion good decoy stakes

Trolling for Muskie is this really necessary since your not really letting out that much there probably is many dive charts for Muskie is there

I know this is an old video, but new to the line counter game, so when I get my reels calibrated at 100' than I fill the spool or have to do that 100' over and over until it's full? Thank you.

Hey John! Can you shoot that question over to Mark at mark@fishing411.net He checks that daily! Thanks!

Fill the spool to capacity, and then do the calibration test at 100 (tape measured) feet. If the counter is under 100, then take some line off of the reel. If the counter is over 100, then add more line to the reel.

Pretty nifty trick.

Can I use a heavier line for backing such as 17 or 20 pound test so I don't fill my reel my reel with the main line I'm fishing with and get he same results? Thanks

Yes you can. What you are trying to accomplish is the diameter of the spool. Get it? The line counter counts the revolutions of the spool, not actually feet of line .

My grandfather used counters, but leadline is color coded defining its depth so it is pointless.

Justin G we are not talking about calibrating for leadcore. We are calibrating reels to use the Precision Trolling Data app that helps to determine dive depth of lures and trolling devices with many line types.
