My son and I use wire line for striped bass. There are certain areas where the trolling depth is critical. It is essential to know how much line is out. In other areas other line settings are used. Some cut a length of line and use swivels with mono line. We don't want to do that.

My son saw a product in a catalog to mark the line. It was a type of nylon thread with sticky glue on it that was wrapped around the wirel line at certain intervals to provide a "tell tale" indicator of how much line was out. Does anyone know about it and where to get it ?

Clamping a lead sinker on the line causes it to hang in the rod guides.

Any other suggestions for marking the wire line ? Has anyone used paint ? What type and how long does it stand up ?

Thanks !
