Not to jump off subject, but does anyone know of a device that makes a sound when a fish runs with your line? Something to use when catfishing with an open bail?
By the way, I heard that those reels with the line-counter thingys work very good if fishing from a boat and want to be at a certain depth. You can also buy individual line- counters to use with any rod for about fifteen bucks.

They have this at Cabela's
Another old fashioned method if you are shore fishing for cats and dont want to line watch...open the bail and take a styrofoam cup with a one inch slit in and run the line through it and set it on the ground...the cup will hop up on a bite like a white flag...and come off the line...the fish will feel nothing...

·I like the line counters for long trolling! They are GREAT! I recommend you go with a mechanical unit as opposed to a battery powered one.
The batteries die and then you get frustrated...CAbelas has some affordable models that work very well!
Ken is right, the DIawas are great quality, but I have also found the Cabelas brand to be fine!

·You are right Ken, and I think you aremaking a good choice stuccoman!
Go get soem line counters, you will nOT regret it!
The first time you are out there and you nail a fish on one rod....then you let theohter one right out to the exact depth and hook a DOUBLE...you'll feel REAL GOOD about the investment!
(Plus gadgets are neat and fun and enhance the fishing expereince...ask any boy and most of the fishin' girls I know!)
