A friend just e-mailed this to me as I was reading your posts on marking wire.
Premium Striped Bass Monel Trolling Wire Line - Marked Every 50 Feet!

(2 ea) PM40-300, .24 dia, 40lb test, 300 ft.

The premium kit includes 2 each of the pre-marked monel trolling wire, each spool contains 300 feet of 40lb test monel and it is marked every 50 feet. Rig up with the very best and go catch some fish! Malin makes the product.

I have been wire fishing for years, but I don't try to mark my wire. All of my rods are set to specific lengths, some for shallow rips, and some for deep water. I feel that while jigging, you should always have the dacron going through the guide on the rod tip, not your wire. If wire is being jigged on the rod tip, it will bend and weaken.
