ABSTRACT:
A depthometer for measuring a length of an elongate line. A main wheel is mounted upon a main body component and is in communication with a registering mechanism. Line guides are mounted upon a lower body component. An inner handle connected to the main body component is pulled toward an outer handle connected to the lower body component, in opposition to a spring-like force in the opposite direction, to open the depthometer and position a line within the depthometer. The main body component is automatically moved towards the lower body component via a spring-like force when the inner handle is released, thereby engaging the line in the depthometer in the installed position.
