whilst a line clip is a device to prevent line leaving the
reel.

It is but you don't leave the line in it when you are fishing. It has a
different 'role'. The line clip is used when casting only and then the
line
is released from the same. If you retreive you can clip up again first
but
if you play a fish (for example) then you can use the line marker to
reset
the line clip and away you go again.

The line marker might allow accurate resetting but if you cast, tighten,
reclip, cast, tighten, reclip you'ge getting closer every time, especially
as some casts are going to bounce and so fall short.

An elastic band is slightly less likely to cause bounce.


Hi Derek

Of course the angler is allowed to engage his brain as well and
look/see/judge what is going on during the session and make a 'considered'
adjustment.

I don't think either is going to be of much use when fishing.

We will have to choose to 'disagree' on that point then ..... no big shakes
it wouldn't do to all be the same.

I use the clip to keep the line tidy in the bag.

Yes ..... I do that too

Cheerio,

Stay well ........ Richard
