I cant get a bell by the time i go and i won't really have time to watch the pole. Ive seen people use bells but i cant get one. Any ideas for strike indicators with sound?
thanks
alot of the reels you can buy these days have strike indicators on them its called the bait click lever. when you flip the lever down it takes the reel out of gear but as the line is pulled out by the fish it makes a clicking sound. its on almost every reel i've seen. just look on the back and bottom side of yours I bet its on there. they do make a fishing clip on bell that you clip on the rod tip but my only problem with those is when I set the hook it flies off behind me. so I just went with the built in strike indicator also when the fish picks it up there is no resistance so they keep it in thier mouth longer
Detailed instructions for making a strike indicator for fly fishing.
When I ice fish for smelts I use a small hard foam ball that floats on the top of the water in my ice fishing cabin hole. The ball has a small hole in the center of it to pass my line through and i hook my line on the ceiling of the cabin and let the line go into the center of the ice fishing hole. What this does is makes kind of a sliding bobber that floats on the top of the water and when the fish takes the hook or bites it moves the little float telling me i have a fish on. I have found something similar to it called a strike indicator but this type has a peg to put in the hole to hold the line in place and it is said it is mostly used for fly fishing. The bobber that I want to make is similar but i want it to slide on the line when i bring the line up without using the peg to stop it. All i wanted to know is if there is a particular site or web address where i might find a mould to make these small bobbers and what i should use for the foam or if they sell that too.
I see your problem and as an obsessed fly fisherman i think fly fishing holds the answer to your problems firstly there are purpose made indicators for fishing in the ice but i think this might also work, slides easily on fly line

When was the last time people went on strike?
People go on strike every day. You only hear about the major strikes.
Play It Again Sports!
They can order one for you if they don't have one on hand; few keep them in stock.
I find it kinda pointless when the catcher tells you to throw a pitch outide the strike zone, while the other player can see where you are aiming it. Is there a way to turn the indicator off?
No, there is not.
Was trying to clean out my drain when it got blocked, so i opened up the drain and the water came gushing out and struck the powerpoint, which tripped the safety switch. When i went to reset the safety switch it wouldn't flick back on and the "earth fault indicator" had been triggered. How can i get the switch back on - is the only way to call an electrician?
sounds like you still have water in the power point, creating a fault path from active to earth, thus you safety switch (RCD tripping) give it some time to dry out, if that fails, call a sparky to investigate
THE LAND OF UMPIRES
Just about the first thing they teach you at umpire school is how to yank your mask off without upsetting your hat. Umpires place great stock in their appearance, and if you're trying to make a call or follow a play with your hat askew or caught in your mask straps or — the worst — spilled in the dirt, you look foolish, inept, exactly the image you don't want the ballplayers, the managers and coaches, or the fans to have of you.
Like everything else in umpiring, or at least in umpire instruction, the method for removing the mask is reasoned and precise. You keep your head straight, your eyes forward, and move your hand to your mask, not the other way around. The only reason you remove your mask in the first place is to watch a play on the field, and you never want to turn your eyes down, away from the play, even for a moment. There's no worse feeling, umpires will tell you, than looking up from an instant's distraction, seeing the ball on the ground, and not knowing how it got there.
BY JOHN BERRY
It was a rainy day and my wife, Lori’s, parents were visiting. We had been scheduled to take them to Branson for the day but had rescheduled for the next day, due to the weather. I checked river conditions and noted that the river was down. I decided to get in an afternoon of fishing. The prospect of doing it in the rain did not bother me. Lori’s parents silently questioned my intelligence and wondered just what the heck their daughter had gotten herself into.
When I arrived at Rim Shoals, I ran into David McCray, one of my fishing buddies from Memphis who has a weekend place in Gassville. He had arrived before me and had already rigged his rod and donned his waders. We spoke briefly and agreed to link up on stream. David walked toward the river and I briefly escaped the rain under the hatchback of my ancient Volvo wagon while I put on my waders.
I pulled out my beloved nine foot four weight Sage Light Line fly rod and began rigging it. The sulphurs had been coming off during the preceding week so I tied on a copper John nymph in size fourteen. The sulphurs are our major mayfly hatch of the year. They are yellowish orange and the copper John is a dead on imitation of their nymphs. I used an eighteen inch 6X tippet, a bit of lead tape just above the tippet knot and a strike indicator set at the depth of the water plus a couple of inches.
I zipped up my rain jacket and closed the hatch back. I walked the trail down to the top of the shoals. I carefully waded across. The water was still dropping out and the wading was a bit treacherous. Halfway across I stopped and pulled out my wading staff. I always carry a folding wading staff and pull it out whenever I encounter fast heavy water. I carefully made my way across and breathed a sigh of relief when I emerged on the other side.
