FASTER SET-UP: Each time you check your lure, or better yet, reel in a fish, you'll want to get your line back into the strike zone as quick as possible. If the fish struck at 100' of line out behind the boat, just flip the reel into free-spool and let line spool out until the line counter hits 100'. This is much faster and more accurate than pulling line off the reel by hand and counting number of pulls.
