Line Counting Reels - Good, Bad, or Ugly?

[duksnfish]

I picked up 2 Rapala Lighted Line Counters on line through Sportsman's Warehouse. they had pretty good overall reviews on internet so for the price, thought I'd try them. I agree, even if the amount of line is off some and you start hitting the fish, and can keep about the same amount of line out, so be it. Here's to crossing your fingers, lol.
