No, ball is for ‘at anchor’
ideally you should raise ‘inverted triangles’, which is the international ID for fishing, and if you have AIS class A, then change the status to fishing. 

 

Lovely reel but 7x over-budget 🤣

let me check my lotto numbers......

No, I chose the LH version. The badge was only an extra with the RH one. 

he has a collection of those badges

Yes, they look flimsy in order that you can work the jig effectively, however, most of the better rods will also deadlift about 22lb.

That`s a bit personal, you shouldn`t be looking.😀

@JonC has a small one! 

TBF, the Aquabell is a super fishing platform, with loads of deck space, and has excellent sea manners.
 

Especially for £15k, and 6m long 🤣

Yeah, but the bloke that sells the tackle is a miserable old bad tempered bast’id. 🙄🤣😇

Interestingly, the podiatrist said she has removed Golf Tee's and self tapping screws from feet and the people involved just thought they had a thorn in the sole of their foot !, so I am not the only thick bast'id in the village. 🤣
She told me I was lucky that it missed some important stuff as it went in.😲

Good effort. Must have been painful having that in there.

Well, I couldn't see the wound without mirrors, but I dressed it with iodine and a very tight bandage to stop the bleeding (there was lots of blood). After a couple of days I took the bandage off and got the Mrs to look at it, and she took out a small obvious piece of glass.
I would be OK in the morning, and it would get progressively more painful as the day went on, but the wound was refusing to heal, and over a month had passed since the injury. The Mrs was getting worried about infection setting in.
I went for a routine blood test at the surgery and the nurse looked at it and decided I was high risk due to being immunosuppressed and mild type 2 diabetic, so she sent a message to Podiatry, who rang me within 24 hours and arranged an appointment for a couple of days later. The podiatrist quickly saw the issue and did the business, although she did offer to send me to a surgeon, I told her to get on with it.
She gave me a bollocking ! , which I probably deserved.
It feels heaps better now.

Nothing to scale it to
Could be miniscule, or the size of a Ford Anglia quarter pane window 

Shout out to Ian @GPSguru for the quick delivery/dispatch from Lyme Bay Tackle.
Ordered Sunday night, dispatched Monday, with me today and all a great price (cheapest by a long way) Big shout out! (First 50 here, the other 25 to follow 🙂 ) Eagle claw hooks are excellent, I know we all have our favourites but these are my preferred hooks for all my big fish fishing (I do use another companies hook but find not quite as sharp as these) 
Ian has got a great range of kit, well worth a look 🙂 
Now time to start making a few rigs for the summer 🙂 

Yep, can't fault Ian on his quality of goods and delivery at a great price. Plenty of other things we can fault though!!  His pile drive is shit for starters!! 

Very true, a medium Vee in a light (ish) boat is not a good combo in a chop. Quicksilvers are similar.

After the demise of my 5 year old Gopro 7 Black, which, like most other Gopro's had been unreliable from the start, but produced excellent video, I have replaced it with a DJI Action 4, which is the main competitor to the Gopro 12.
So a short test Video that was shot in 4K30, processed over bluetooth on my phone using 'Light Cut' and the output to Youtube at 1080p. Doing this retains the sharpness a colour depth of 4K video. It was shot in Rock Steady mode, which retains the motion of the boat.
I am sat there looking like a spare part as my rods are on the A frame slightly behind the camera, and we have 60 secs of Kyle landing a Whiting whilst we are at anchor.
 

So I was on the boat today, I’ve had a play with the totalscan transducer on the hull, changed position and it’s working a bit better…. I’ll see how it goes with that for now…. 🤔
Also wired up in my new tablet as second screen on deck, USB charger for customers, wireless charger on the helm, varnished insided, new rod holders…. Been a busy day 🙂 

Sounds OK, get on with it 👍
Remember Luke, regardless of what system you go for, the technology is all the same, that is the nature of the beast.
It all comes down to the way in which the GUI (graphical user interface) is presented, and ease of use, and what works for one person, might not work for another, it is mostly personal preferences and interpretation, BUT, the technology behind the screens is all the same.
 

Thanks for the offer but I wouldn't bother seeing as no-one listens to you anyway 🤷‍♂️

The reel is fitted with a sprag (one way) bearing. Sprag bearings have been known to slip under extreme tension, but that is mainly in industrial applications, and it will probably never happen on the MA12 as the max drag is only 23lb.
However, as a backup to the sprag bearing, Fin Nor fitted an anti reverse pawl, which a lot of users find the noise annoying.
The pawl is easy to remove, undo the 4 torx screws and remove the case. Just under the spool you will see the pawl and spring, there is no need to remove the spool, carefully slide a small screwdriver in to remove the 'C' clip, then using a screw driver release the spring and carefully prise the pawl off the spindle. It is quite tight for space but very doable. The reel then becomes silent. All mine are done that way (5 of them) and I have never had the sprag slip.
