Update #3
Used during a trip to Fort Ross and placed back on the balcony.


UPDATE #2

Received two samples: One Orange and One Custom Order (Photos Below)
Plan to set these flags at my balcony for the next two weeks to test for the color fade.
If you have any additional test suggestions, please let me know.




UPDATE #1

With many peoples interest and Bushy's permission, I am pushing the project through.
I will order some samples and test the quality.

Amazon.com has only two reviews with an average of 4.5 stars.

I plan to set a sample in the sun for a month to make sure the color does not fade.  If anyone wants to join the sample testing, please PM me.  The sample flag will be $7.00 each. 

Hope during the sample testing period we can come up with several mounting options. 

After a month of the test period, I am hoping to have the NCKA logo flag by the of October.  At that time, I will let you know the final price and payment method.

I will keep you update of the progress.



OLD
After watching Die Hard Fishing gets hit by a boat.  I thought about adding a safety flag to my kayak.  (I know some of you guys are against this..)
After some searching, I think I found a flag that is good quality and reasonable price.
https://www.flagline.com/flags/orange-12-x-18-solid-color-nylon-flag

Orange - 12" x 18" Solid Color Nylon Flag
Simple and durable, our selection of high quality solid color nylon flags are great for grabbing attention! These flags are made of nylon to endure the weather and include a canvas header and brass grommets. Made in the USA.  The orange shown is PMS 172. Color appearance may vary on different monitors.  Made in the United States

I contacted the distributor for adding our logo and for 100 flags for $8.40 each plus $15 shipping. At this price, I can mail to individually for less than $10 each.

The logo will be placed by simple black dyed onto the orange (single/reverse).   Only the black part of the logo will be placed on orange.  (The attached photo is not correct.  I can't do with photo clipping)   I don't have any knowledge regarding logo placement and can use your advice.  Also, I need permission from the logo designer too.

If you are interested to purchase this flag, please let me know.  If I have more than 10 people interested, I will place an order.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Paul

I like the idea.  Is the NCKA logo on both sides or just on 1 side?

Hey Paul. You should check with Allen (pole pole)before printing anything. He has the copyrights to the NCKA Logo. I know you have good intentions but just make sure to get permission before going to print.

Like the idea, but I heard the in the fog sometimes the safety green shows up better ..... possibly a diagonal split in the two colors? Just a thought if your intrested.

I would like one and it really doesn’t need the NCKA logo if there are issues with the use. I thought about attaching a flag like that to my 8’ sabiki rod but was worried that the jigging action might be perceived as a distress call.

I’d take one :smt006
Hi Eddie
You will get a free one for helping my wife catch 29" halibut.  She still gives me a hard time for not catching any halibut.

Just one side but you can see the reverse view from the backside.
