Incorrect info here. It is not that he was 40' off with the amount of line he had out, he really was just 1 1/2' off. What is true is that it might take 15-40' of line, added or taken off, to change the spool diameter enough to make the up that 1 1/2', and make the counter accurate. You can't argue that if you measure 100', and your reel says 98 1/2', that your 40' off. But you may need to remove around 20' of line to adjust your counter. Also, it's not only the amount of tension on the line, that determines how much to add or remove, but the overall diameter of the spool.
@@TeamJesusOutdoors Please explain how you can measure out 100' on the ground, pull out 100' of line off your reel , and your counter reads 98 1/2". So how are you off by a lot? Your not, just 18" off. Your thinking was correct when you said you thought you were close. However, you needed to pull 20' or so line off your reel to adjust counter to make up that 18". Doesn't mean you were off that 20'.
this is very important great job man..Knowing the diameter of the line is important too. Berkley 10lb XT is 0.35mm in diameter (that's what's used according to the precision trolling app) . If you don't want to use berkley for whatever reason. just a make sure whatever you use is 0.35 mm for me it's KastKing 15lb mono.
Stupid question here. Lets say you have 2 guys and you mark off 100ft. On your first try the line counter says 97 ft. Couldn't you just keep walking till the line counter says 100ft then have the guy at the other end pull you back to the 100ft mark?
Dive charts are available for some musky baits, from the manufacturer, but it is somewhat different. Typically I have not trolled as deep for musky, and with much less line out.

Great tips. You give out a ton of great information for guys who want to catch more fish.
Thanks Brother! I try to bring something of value to our faithful audience.
great tip.. I've been caligrating my reels for years,learned this trick from lance
It was Lance who finally convinced me too. Thanks for your support!

That very well could be accurate. There is no need for you to word your response so negatively. There was no attempt at deception in what I stated.
Great tip JC!!
That's amazing 40 linier feet of line more than what your reel was reading. Great video thanks for sharing.
I was blown away! LOL Seriously I wouldn't have believed it had I not seen it with my own eyes.
@@TeamJesusOutdoors Cuz it wasn't true..wuz just 1 1/2'!
Wrong. It was off by a lot.

This one perfect…keep going on.never be give up mera bhai iam always with you
Thanks for watching and for the kind words, friend.
I know I need to do this. Thanks for sharing. I am stripping line this week and then calibrating.
Just remember to leave the spool of line attached, until after you've calibrated. LOL
@@TeamJesusOutdoors will do.
Did a few reels today. (I got some steps in!)
Sometimes it's a lot of steps. I have a few to do, but I am waiting for that first good warm up in February.

Personally I use 10 # big game, but I have experimented with 16 pound flourocarbon, which is the same diameter. I agree completely!
I have to do this to my reels.I know I have way too much line on them.
Thanks,
Bruce
Too much or too little, either way is a bad. Thanks for watching!

Not a stupid question at all. That just may work.
no... that won't change a thing next time you let line out. You have to adjust amount of line to change spool diameter.
Is it the same for Muskie fishing is there a dive charts for Muskie lures
Dive charts are available for some musky baits, from the manufacturer, but it is somewhat different. Typically I have not trolled as deep for musky, and with much less line out.
Nice brooo
Thanks Pal!
I troll Lake Erie all the time and my walleyes are calibrated
I certainly believe that it makes a difference!
So if you get hung up and have to cut and retie, you're not going to be accurate anymore. Well, that sucks.
Unfortunately that is true. It is a pain in the rear sometimes, but its the only way to know that all your baits are running at the same depths.
@@TeamJesusOutdoors eh, I’ll just save my money lol.
I know others who share your sentiment. I just need to know where in the water column I am putting my baits, for my own sanity
