If you gentlemen don't mind...
May seem like a stupid question, but when using the dive curve charts, what are you basing your line counter on? At the water level, tip of the rod, or at the actual reel? I realize duplication is the key to line counters, but I also fish solo most of the time. If I remember correctly, on a TT40, 65' of line out runs you down to approx. 26'. When solo, rods are direct to the TT and placed in rod holder, Obvious rod tip about 6-8' above waterline. Every once in a while I have a couple buddies with me and I can run the big boards...obviously clips are closer to the waterline. Probably over thinking this as usual...

Thank you
