I just know I could never again go back to the days of hoping that I’m Back to the same presentation as I just was when I caught the last fish. An inexpensive investment in a line counter reel at least takes a lot of the guess work out of it. I don’t know what WAG is so I can’t comment there!
It's a Wild @$$ guess, which is what math and physics have come down to, it seems.
Line counters are good if you don't have anything else. I use them for my planer boards. But I don't think they help much when you have downriggers. In fact, I think they detract from the fishing because you are looking at how much line is left out instead of paying attention to the fish and getting it in or, at minimum, it splits your attention between fighting the fish and looking at the reel. But, your mileage may vary.
