I just found that same video today and thought it was simple yet brilliant.
Learned something new today the biggest surprise was it's literally been right under my nose the whole time and I didn't have a clue.
When I vertical fish using spinning reels I try to get my line back to the same depth each time I catch a fish short of hand lining it in I'm never quite sure that it's at the same depth after I reel in. I try counting the cranks and such but in the excitement of the catch I usually loose track. So after I came across this video I did a search and found a post here on CDC from 2009 about how to utilize this tool that you already have, it's more than just for line storage.
Wish I new this years ago!

I'll be danged. I don't even know if all my reels have those. Maybe they do.
Not knowing about that is sorta the same as finding out that the gas gauge in a vehicle has an arrow that points to the side of the vehicle that the gas fill tube is on. No telling how many times I've driven my wifes car, or a rental or whatever and not known which side of the car to pull up to the gas pump.
Thanks for posting this. I am ashamed to admit it but in all the years I have been fishing I have never paid any attention to that tab. But as was pointed out, it is so obvious once it is brought to my attention. And yes, I just discovered this year about the gas gauge arrow.
I am not concerned about occasionally losing tackle to large fish as was discussed in the other video as I will lose more to brush hangups than I will ever lose to a large bass.
When i wus younger, everybody knew where to put the gas in. Just fold down the rear tag ans WALLA.
