Mark, I have tried to use Keuwlsoft Frequency Counter. I found it a total pain in the ass to even get a measurement consistently. I'm also using an app called Smart Meter Pro that has a vibrometer....it works pretty well. Is there anyone here that has used Keuwlsoft with much success? Smart Meter Pro uses the phone accelerometer to measure a vibration.

I have to say...I saw one once. The rational was to get the line closer to the blank. The man swore up and down that it was more sensitive. ...not gonna say who it was...we all know how passionate some builders are about their theories.

Les....look at it this way... (and this goes for any guide system) By having a set up that casts as far as it potentially can, you also have a system that casts, your normal casting distance, with less effort.
