Its called a ''DRUMLINE" guys.This practice is not just a random event,it goes with rellentless scrutineering of the drums to select one that accommodate your first guide which is normally an expensive AFTCO- roller guide.The height plays a very important role.Finding the exact amount of rocks or bricks to act as counterweight in the back of the drum(nearest the parking lot) is paramount.An empty one is a, not-so-hard-to-find-luxury,in the current South-Africa,as a lot of people seem to deliberately avoid chucking their rubbish into these bins, they are obviously aware of the new trend.
Apart from finding one that really compliments your fishing line's colour,finding one with the perfect resonance when a fish actually takes your offering is also vital. Anglers of longstanding get to know the knell of his particular drum,when the KP starts rattling inside the "bongo".That way every angler can at leisure approach his rod when he hears his distinct sound,much like the coopers(kuipers) in days of old.
Fingers have been lost at random by novices to this articulate approach,so it is really not for the faint-hearted.If you are in a job where you absolutely have to use 10 fingers from time to time then steer well clear of above practices. When you're in the vicinity of a rattling drum and if no one seems to bother,be sure to check inside the drum first wether it is a multiplier or KP(scarborough),just a tip ,the KP will definately give a more pronounced rattle ,whereas multipliers may even combine the wail of a ratchet with the cluttering against the drum.
In the case of the KP steer well clear (the beach stroll with both hands behind the back is highly recommended).If perchance the drum happens to fall over(highly unlikely after the scientific calculus made by the angler),do not ,and I repeat do not be tempted to stop or even slow down the rod travelling out to sea by any means,not only can this lead to predictions made a few paragraphs earlier,but the angler may just take exception to someone else handling his state of the art equipment.
Applications for patents are currently pending and only a court case regarding different colour-schemes on the drums are delaying the process.I am actually amazed that your camera was not confiscated by the relevant angler/authority,as this very colour-scheme is patent-pending .
Take care,and tight lines, or rather "rattling drums"
