I attached the protractor to the square pc. of wood and used a cotter pin as the pendulum. Align the left or right edge of wood with the cable and pendulum will tell you the angle   

THANKS STAN .THATS ACTUALLY LIKE THE TOOL I HAD ONLY IT HAD A BUBBLE LEVEL ON IT . IS IT POSSIBLE TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THE ONE YOU MADE? THANKS TED

[srd]

Here is a product from Walmart (web site) that you may be able to use. It’s $22.97. Other stores/sites such as Home Depot and Amazon sell these too.

 THANKS  LAKER TAKER I HAVE A GUY THINKS HE HAS ONE  LIKE THE ONE I HAD BUT I CAN'T GET TILL APRIL. IF NOT I AM GOING TO MAKE ONE LIKE SRD DID. I ALSO FOUND AN APP  CALLED DOWNRIGGER  WHERE YOU USE YOUR PHONE VERY INTERESTING JUST DON'T LIKE THE IDEA USING PHONE IN FOUL WEATHER OR OVER WATER.

[LakerTaker]

You are welcome & sounds good. Yeah, I’d be afraid of dropping my phone in the water for sure. I suppose you could use a lanyard and tie it to your wrist, but that’s one more thing to keep track of.

Use your cell phone.  Just calibrate it on a level surface before you get on board.

 

Still, not sure why this is so critical.  Speed and temp is much more critical than what depth the lure is at.  A few feet won't make a difference once you find the proper temp.

 

Do you think that the dipsey depths are dialed in?  They would be affected by so much more.

Ted here are a few pictures I found that seem to match what you are looking for. I believe the Marker is just a laminated card you hold near the cable to judge the angle. Hope this helps.
