Yes folks it's a fishing reel attached to the pushpit! What a great idea... No more tangled mackerel lines in the cockpit, for me or you! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Neat ideas (No 2)

Look at the shadow in the water, tony was trying to save money by getting a distorted back stay at the jumble /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Goodness, Why didn't I think of that.
I put up with a reel on a two foot broom handle.
Never caught a lot on it I have to say, odd mackeral or two. Assume we are always going too fast (5+ knots)
Did get a couple of superb bites whilst going around the inner passage at Land End. But its usual anglers tale....
they got away..

Even better , how about a short piece of dowl with the reel that slots into where the ensign goes? Saves wrecking a good reel.

Well, it's got to be better than the guy I saw in a canoe with a line attached to 6 mackeral feathers and tied around his NECK on the West Coast of Scotland!!

If that is your backstay in the photo, then it's a good idea to be able to catch fish efficiently, for when you run out of food and are drifting around after being dismasted!

True, but in the BC we tend to use engines aswell.
