If your using down riggers I'd upgrade your pole to talora's by Shimano (I upgraded from ugly Sticks to them and I can't believe the difference). I am also using Shimano reels, they are among the best. I believe I use 10 lb mono as I'm after the Kokanee, they have soft mouths as it is, I like a little stretch in the line. I am a fan of a line counter, you can always look at the spool and guesstimate that way so not necessary.
