I've used some "tool dip" on my reel and anchor line.  It comes in 
different colors, so you can easily use any system you like to 
measure distance.  On my reel, I can tell by how much reel is left to 
take up, but the first 50 feet I have a black mark every 5 ft.  This 
allows me to measure visibility fairly accurately, just count the 
black marks you can see.  If I can see 4, it's a good day :-)
