counters on downriggers

[salmonquest]

So far I have only been around walker and Big Jon downriggers. As stated in other posts I love my captain's paks. I do have one question though about the counters on downriggers. Is there a reason they don't have a trip button? I know that it shouldn't need to be reset often but sometimes the spring slips and I end up off a few feet especially with the old walkers We had. It just doesn't make sense to me that they wouldn't have a reset and you have to spin that wheel to adjust it. Does anyone know of a downrigger that has a counter with a reset?

Salmonquest,
I have searched for a counter with a reset on it, no one makes them in the small counter that we use. No rigger manufacturer that I'm aware of has the reset, it would be nice though.

Cannon downriggers have counters that reset. They simply slide off the gear that runs the counter and you can manually spin the wheel until it reads zero again. It's very easy and convenient and only takes about 10 seconds to do. Both the cannon models I have(mag 10s and unitrolls) do this.

I'm not very familiar with the Big Jons/Walkers, but will the counters easily come out far enough to manually reset them?

It's not too hard to reset them. The wheel for the counter is in between the counter and the spoool. It's slightly incovenient to take off the spring or spin them with the spring on. Not too bad though. I just thought it made sense to add a reset
