Quick take
A digital counter that attaches to a rod to measure trolling line length for depth control and consistency.
The Rapala Digital Line Counter is a small rod-mounted meter that shows how much line you have let out. It fits baitcasting and spinning rods, and the backlit screen stays readable in low light. A depth lock and depth alarm help you return to the same trolling or drifting depth, and the display switches between imperial and metric units.
