Balzer Fishing Rod Depth Gauge – 0-999m Line Counter

The Balzer Fishing Rod Depth Gauge is a compact mechanical line counter that attaches directly to your fishing rod, allowing you to measure how much line has been deployed while fishing.

With a measuring range of 0 to 999 metres, it's particularly useful for deep-water fishing, bottom fishing and trolling, where knowing the approximate depth or amount of line out can help you repeatedly return your bait or lure to the productive zone.

The gauge features a tough impact-resistant nylon ABS housing designed to withstand demanding fishing conditions, including use around saltwater.

Know How Much Line You Have Out

When fishing deeper water, knowing how much line you've deployed can make it much easier to reproduce a successful presentation.

The Balzer Depth Gauge provides a simple visual indication from 0 to 999 metres, allowing you to monitor line deployment without relying solely on guesswork.

If you get a bite at a particular reading, you can use the gauge to help return your rig to approximately the same depth on the next drop.

Ideal for Deep-Water Fishing

The generous 999m measuring capacity makes the gauge particularly useful for deeper boat-fishing applications.

It can be used when dropping bait rigs, sinkers or lures, helping you keep track of the amount of line deployed as your tackle descends.

Useful for Trolling

A line counter can also be useful when trolling.

Recording how much line is behind the boat allows you to reproduce a successful setup more consistently after changing lures or bringing a line in.

Impact-Resistant Housing

The depth gauge is housed in impact-resistant nylon ABS, providing a durable exterior for regular fishing use.

The housing is designed with saltwater fishing conditions in mind, making it suitable for boat and offshore applications.
