Did you try a permanent marker? Also recently saw someone using tiny rubberbands but it was on a larger reel/pole set up.

Switch to Power Pro Depth Hunter, changes color every 25' and has black marks every 5'

Waxed floss half hitched onto the braid about 1" long at each of lengths you specified would work. You can also glue a different colored hollowcore braid over your line to mark the depth.

I use permanent marker, I use it on my braid and will use it when trolling with mono. I don't like to add anything that adds thickness to the line.

My jigging stick though, I use. Daiwa's Saltiga line.

Tie a nail knot or a PR knot with 20lb yellow braid on your main line at 100, 150 and 200. For the PR knot get a cheap PR bobben to get the knot tight.

I use Permanent marker or whip finiish / nail knot, a length of HI Vis braid onto mainline.
Coat with knot sense U should be good to go! I only fish Hi Vis lines like red or blue so the knot or finish can be felt or seen.
Clor coded braids R tough to follow so I use red braid & mark to 250' every fifty feet.
Make mark with pen long enough to read when line is going out fast , the braid finish U can feel night or day . I feel these R better than CC braids since montiorting depth is very easy.:cool:

Thanks for the help guys.

I read that you can approximate depth if fishing with a level-wind reel. Just measure how much line goes out when the level-wind goes from one side to the other.

By knowing the distance between a raised and lowered rod tip, (about 8') you can count the times--IE: 8' X 10times=80'...Got that from Capt. Bob Bogan and it works--just don't lower rod too fast when dropping bait for deep tuna.
