I've never did that kind of trolling , why the big concern over how much line you have out ?
I have a G-Abu 6600 - very nice reel - great deal on those outfits.
The amount of line you have out is one of the factors that determines the depth you’re running at.
OK thanks figured it had to be something like that.
Downriggers get lost to big sharks around here , friend I fished with said it was big Makos that hit the planers.- mangle the whole setup .
