tackle stolen

some scum ransacked my garage and shed lastnight and took the lot , all the fishing gear I have collected over the past 30 yrs , gone , three sets of rods , plus marker , stalking rods , nets , tackle bags , alarms ........everything gone

if anyone is offered any high end tackle under even moderately suspicious circumstances please get in touch

I am offering a £1000 reward for information leading to the recovery of my gear

I will compile a list of apprex what is missing but at the minite I cant think of it all

Sorry to hear ,keep an eye on adverts etc . There is a seller on there that buys all high end stuff in the dublin and surrounding area that might be worth contacting in case it comes his way.Just to clarify I do not think he knowiningly buys stolen gear but is always looking for tackle so might be worth a go. Pm me if you want a link to his user profile

I will have to sit down a write a list from memory of all the stuff , its gonna take hrs , every time I go back to the shed I rem something else that's gone .

Hopefully you get it back. Terrible blow for you, fingers crossed Conrad.

Jesus conrad that is awful news. I will keep an eye and ear out for anything.
Dirty scumbags
check out any cash convertors you have locally and even further. I remember a story recently where a guy found his stuff had been sold on there in the uk.

 Sorry to hear Conrad listen will keep the ear to the ground mate if anything happens will contact you.......
regards Glen

thanks lads , checked through it all yesterday , they've cleaned me out all bar a pair of reels which they missed and some end tackle , they got all the rods and reels , my carbon throwing stick all top notch gear that should stick out like a sore thumb wherever it goes eg my reubens were the saltwater hi viz orange ones with the nitelite stuck on the front .

i was targeted by anglers for fishing gear , they left other more portable and valuable objects in favour of fishing gear . i also believe they are local and or a members of a local club ............i advertised a load of stuff on their page recently and i think i have been turned over by one or more of the members . i would hope any of the lads around the country who know me or have bought or sold tackle with me would have the decency to let me know if they are offered any hooky or high end gear .........probably coming from the pike angling fraternity .

i am totally scundered , and my missus is climbing the funking walls

Conrad regarding the rods mate should you have the serial numbers/id numbers
From them.........

the only rods that have numbers are the NGs the infinitys are one of a kind , stripped to bare carbon , alps reelseats , minima 4 s 50mm guides , full jap shrink handle made by Cotswold rods , the marker also from Cotswold is a one off , the hi-s are as new but they are the old 40mm build , the daiwa powermesh are at least 20 yrs old and the handles are chewed to Fcuk , the reels are all hens teeth ..........if the gear comes up for sale on any of the forums i should get to hear about it , what i would ask is for the lads to pay attention to what they see on the bank , like a kid from the north wearing a tracksuit fishing behind two grands worth of rods and reels ...........everything they nicked is pretty specialist and you will not find it in any irish angling shop . even some of the clothing they took was a bit on the rare side and either sized medium or 2xl .

please contact me if you see or hear anything relating to my stolen gear

Sorry to hear about this mate.

Hopefully you get the gear back and the scum get caught.

Sorry to hear that Conrad , absolute filthy animals:cry: 

sorry to hear this one ... soul destroying

does the house insurance cover any?

insured mine on the house policy covers it at home and on the bank cost 20 yoyos a year max claim 2000

Sorry to hear that mate. .. Anyword on ur stuff. ..

nah mate , no word yet , though I did find some evidence the burgler left behind which is now with cid ,

I wont be holding my breath , but if enough anglers know about it some of the gear may eventually appear on the banks , who knows ,

A bit of luck pal.. all they are is scum
