One of the best ways to mark wire line is to use dental floss. Just braid the floss oround the wire, about 1 inch is fine (just like braiding hair), each layer color it with an indelable magic marker. I usually put on 3 layers. The great thing about the dental floss is that it does not slip, lays relatively flat on the reel and travles through the guides nicely. You can also feel the lump of dental floss at night while letting out the wire line.

Hope this helps,
