Each morning my guide Brett and I headed out before dawn for Spanish mackerel around the rocky headlands. They came on at first light, then the surface action faded about an hour after sunrise. I asked Brett why.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe picked up a long minnow lure and pointed out something easy to overlook: the dark back and pale belly. Many baitfish have that same colouring. Seen from above, the dark back blends into the darker water. Seen from below, the pale underside blends into the bright surface. That camouflage is called countershading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrett linked it to the changing light at dawn and dusk, and to the feeding pattern we were watching. He had grown up on a mackerel boat out of Wyndham, and it was the sort of explanation that made you look at fishing differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the surface goes quiet, there are still fish worth targeting below it. That is where I use the sounder and downrigger together: find the bait or fish, then send a live bait or lure down to the depth they are holding. You have something much more useful to work with than another pass over the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"drp-byline\"\u003eAndrew Hestelow\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cfigure data-media=\"archive-324\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1940\/1341\/files\/boat-mounted-downrigger-near-cliffs-1200.webp?v=1790641629\u0026amp;width=640\u0026amp;quality=80\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1940\/1341\/files\/boat-mounted-downrigger-near-cliffs-1200.webp?v=1790641629\u0026amp;width=320\u0026amp;quality=80 320w, https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1940\/1341\/files\/boat-mounted-downrigger-near-cliffs-1200.webp?v=1790641629\u0026amp;width=480\u0026amp;quality=80 480w, https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1940\/1341\/files\/boat-mounted-downrigger-near-cliffs-1200.webp?v=1790641629\u0026amp;width=640\u0026amp;quality=80 640w, https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1940\/1341\/files\/boat-mounted-downrigger-near-cliffs-1200.webp?v=1790641629\u0026amp;width=960\u0026amp;quality=80 960w, https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1940\/1341\/files\/boat-mounted-downrigger-near-cliffs-1200.webp?v=1790641629\u0026amp;width=1200\u0026amp;quality=80 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 90vw, (max-width: 800px) 70vw, 560px\" width=\"1200\" height=\"904\" style=\"max-width:min(100%,2048px)\" alt=\"Manual downrigger and fishing rods mounted along a boat’s side near coastal cliffs.\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\u003e\u003cfigcaption\u003eMy downrigger working a bait along the shoreline.\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"drp-section\" id=\"kit\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"drp-eyebrow\"\u003e02 \/ Built for our boats\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStrong construction.

The water was fresh, and the lake stayed flat all week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA five- or six-metre Australian boat asks different things of its gear. Saltwater, rougher conditions, an outboard at the stern and less working space make strong construction and a useful boom length count. Our one-metre boom gives you working clearance around the outboard.

Its smaller diameter means less line drag, so a lighter weight is easier to wind up. There is no steel cable to corrode and no cable hum. That hum is particularly noticeable in the aluminium boats so many of us fish from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe supply the downrigger pre-spooled with 65 metres of 200 lb braid.

A detachable line counter lets you measure the line that physically passes onto the reel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThis is particularly handy when dividing a bulk spool between reels, checking how much braid you have loaded, or replacing line on a reel where you want a known amount. Because the counter clips to the rod, you can use it with an existing spinning reel or overhead setup instead of buying a reel with a built-in counter purely for this job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eProven in 400 m Plus Deep-Drop Fishing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eWe have used these counters well beyond normal inshore depths. At Browns Mountain off Sydney, they were used while fishing in more than 400 m of water, including readings around 415 m. We have also clipped one onto a rod when the display on an electric reel was playing up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThat real-world use is why we are comfortable describing this as a 1000 m-class fishing line counter while still being precise about the hardware: the mechanical display itself has three digits and reads from 000 to 999 m.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eFor the full story, including deep dropping, electric reels, homemade downriggers and jigging against sounder marks, see our practical guide:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"text-align: center; margin: 1.8em 0;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/blogs\/tackle-news\/count-down\" class=\"action_button\"\u003eHow to Use a Fishing Line Counter\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eFishing Line Counter FAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eDoes this line counter measure to 1000 metres?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe counter has a three-digit display reading from 000 to 999 m in one-metre increments.

We have used a detachable counter with electric-reel fishing, including as a practical backup when an electric reel display was not behaving as expected.

We have supplied this type of detachable counter with our downriggers for years. Position it so the line runs cleanly over the measuring wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eIs the counter showing the exact depth of my bait or jig?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eIt is measuring the amount of line that passes through the counter. In still water with a near-vertical line that may be close to depth, but current, drift and line angle can create a difference. For target-depth fishing, use the counter together with your sounder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eCan I use it to measure line while spooling a reel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eYes. This is one of our favourite uses for it. Reset the counter to 000 and measure the line as it passes onto the reel.
