Dana, et. al. -
With reference to the "sweet spot" for each line and rod combination...
During some light conditions it's difficult to tell where to stop stripping for the next cast, or what length of DT line to put out as you start working a run. There is merit in going "fretless" (bass guitar analogy) because it teaches 'feel' but for some lines it would save me a lot of trouble to have a registration point to refer to.
Has there been a discussion of this I could not find via search keywords? Do people use a registration mark and what is the best medium for it? I suppose 1/2 width cut electrical tape would work - it's flexible and waterproof and comes in different colors.
I would think this would be a good learning aid as well - I know I've wasted way too much time with the wrong line length out there only to change up and ZOOM!
thoughts?
