/if you wind all the leader onto the reel then take a marker and run lines onto the leader you will get several feet of marked leader. Also depends on the reel. Spinning or level wind. My spinners seem to have less marked footage.

You rub across the line not with the line and be sure the mark is about 1/8 - 1/4 inch wide. Do this in several places around the reel.
