How to mark copper line

[jager61]

Does anyone have any tips/ideas as to how to effectively mark copper line (paint, markers, etc.) for the purpose of measuring how much line out to help with depth determination?

Thanks- Mike

Yogurt. Yogurt will turn your copper black. Just count the black spots as it goes out

Solder and a damp rag to wipe off the excess???

Paint markers or white spray paint worked well for me yesterday.

I used a technique that is similiar to what is used on a bow string. I took dental floss and made small continues knots on the copper and than covered them in clear finger nail polish. Seems like it is going to work nicely. Oh and it is also I nice minty green color

tie a knot every 50 ft

Go to Officemax and buy a super-permanent sharpie the rest is self explanatory I hope. Or if you really want to make it difficult go to Radio Shack and buy small heat shrink tubing and take your lighter and do it up right.

Save some time and put it on a line counter reel.

another tip (for real tis time) if you color code each section (length) use different colors so you know how much you got out and write on pole what color is what....mine is marked every 100 ft but shure as heck someone will call as your letting out and youll forget where your at or after 1/2 hr youll be scratching yer head as to how much ya got out .....when the fish start showing at a certain depth then ya can let out or reel in to get in the zone.... boy im smart just thought of that.......... now i gotta color code mine ............"""HINT HINT TOM ATOMIC"""

HOLY CRAP HOW DID I DO THAT ???????????????????????

[on the lam]

Do you have a twitch Ray???

I count the passes on the 345 (w/600') to determine feet out. Bit of a pain but it works.

get two points 100 feet apart in the yard, and with reel in hand walk it out back and forth. put the numbers on the reel. Call me crazy.

Usually dont have to bother counting tho, its all out or its not...

Pete, I thought you just cracked a beer as you let it out. Beer is gone, there is 500 feet out. Redneck style!
