Dune Flag

Might be a silly question, but how do you attach it to the vehicle?

Stu50 few cable ties work ok on b/bar upright.stayed nice and tight for me in simo last year.two piece surf rod packs well for the trip out &back.took top half down quickly after big red for the run into b/ville late in the day.sort the rest out with can in hand in camp that night.

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. What I did was find a piece of pipe/tube that the fishing rod fitted into, crimped the end so the rod would not fall through, Then I just used a couple of hose clamps to secure the pipe to my bull bar.SWMBO sewed up a red flag the slipped over the end of the rod & hey presto. The pipe stays on the bar & when I need a flag I just slip the pole into the pipe.Its been that way for about 10 years.
Ps I also removed the line runners from the rod.

Why the name change??

Just a bit smaller than i used to be lol

Some good deals from time to time at A-Mart as well.

Picked up a 12' surf rod (Jarvis Walker) and reel for $30 last year. (on special)

Fizz use the old solid fibreglass type rods as the hollow graphite ones snap far too easily.

About 15 foot (4.5m) is what the buggy clubs use from memory although most people for convienience only go up around 12 foot (3.6m) but mounted to the front bull bar can be seen OK.
Color? Any colour that contrasts against the red sand. From past observation a white bra strapped to a ploe stands out pretty well :-))
Cheers Craig..........

Craig, won't argue with the bra strap, but the flag needs to stand out against the blue sky and the clouds - thats usually all I see going up dunes :-)) Orange is the best.
Cheers

helps if i write about what it is eh?????????????????:):)

8 foot ugly stik,two piece. Easy to store in back of the Patrol and simply held onto bar with a few cableties.
The flag is what SWMBO came up with.
Large yellow section from an old flouro safety shirt, with the red trim from a safety vest, bloody thing can be seen for miles:).
She made a couple of tie's on the bottom edge of the flag to tie it to the rod, so that it can come off and i can still use the rod if we ever get into big fish.
The rod moves very little at 80kph, but will bend over nicely when passing through trees etc.
