Annoying lack of ratchet

[tatch]

:question:Hi i have an abu 6500 ct sports mag which i really like only trouble is i like to put it on my 6lb class kenzaki & use it on the boat for bass.As you can guess come time for cuppa & grub fish tugs & you miss it because if you didnt see it theres no ratchet or line out alarm call it what you will does anyone know if one can be fitted all advice would be much appreciated:question:

don't think it could be fitted mate as the mag slider is where the ratchet should live!
