I'm guessing this comment is a joke lol what ever your suing your still pulling the same amount of line off the reel

Decide where you want to fish then find a spot. Mark it up yourself. No need to worry about what anyone else tells you in terms of distance or wraps
Follow the sheep = worry about wraps

Absolutely not - if someone says “6 sections towards the oak tree” its not telling you how far is it?

Only a punisher will ask how many sections or wraps so you entitled to tell them whatever you want.

I have taken pub chucking to the next level.
I can do it with my eyes closed.
Took me hours to perfect that.

If somebody asked me "how many wraps?" I would struggle to answer as I rarely use wraps, and I am not bad at estimating distance.
My first 'warm-up' cast to a marker float or even towards a tree line is often bang on the money, so I clip up on that, if I am short, no problem to creep up. I stop it if it looks like going too far.
The line then gets a power gum stop knot so I can get back on target.
On my syndicate, I do have the space to walk it out on the bank, and in the past on enclosed swims, when I have used 'distance sticks' I found I got increased line twist.
I do love those who use distance sticks on public access and footpaths, leaving something extra to trip over. The number of times I have not seen them, kicked them accidentally must be in the hundreds.
I did get amusement someone on the local park lake using distance sticks, every male dog that came past was cocking his leg and peeing over them.😆

I used to always fish like that with but with tape as a marker but after the lakes started getting weedy which often makes the line very curly or slightly damaged after catching fish which i feel needs to be cut back, the marking line method then isn't as good as marker sticks which no matter how many times i cut the line back i will always quickly get back onto the spot.
If the lakes i fish are clear of weed and the line doesn't need to be cut back i still use the marker tape but i will measure the distance on my distance sticks and log it down so i can quickly mark up at any time of day or night when returning to the swim.
