I flat out love line counter reels for salmon jigging in salt water. In combination with fish finder sonar that shows depth, you can put your lure precisely the depth you want and or a precise distance from the bottom or a bottom structure.

We don't look for salmon on the fish finder as much as we look for schools of bait and a depth we prefer, but seeing salmon on the fish finder is a nice bonus.
