Laser Measure

[crusian]

Hello Everyone

I had a laser spirit level bought for me for Christmas , which made me think .

When casting to a far bank margin with something reasonably solid on the bank , i.e. a tree , could you use a laser measure to get an accurate distance then use your distance sticks to run out your line before clipping it up ; or do these laser measures only work indoors and leaves / branches plus sunlight would render them next to useless ? .

They work as well outside as inside , not sure how far though as that would depend on the lazer unit , I know mines ok to 40M , 

Not used it for fishing though as I very rarely use wraps .

I used to use one myself a few years ago.

For longer distances they do need to be steady and on a tripod. You also need a fixed reference point. They do not work targetting a leave or rush, but do on a tree trunk or target board. 

There is a range limit on building site style laser finders, mine was only good to 120metres.
