    Line puller recommendations

    I'm looking to get a new line puller. I've only ever used Scotty's, and I'd prefer something more automatic, where I can just focus on spooling the line instead of pulling on the puller. Any recommendations?

I've called several people at dfo and scoured their website the best I can. Has anyone else noticed any specific regulation for rockfish which is currently listed...
