Title: Calling all forum members! ..... Stolen tackle?
Post by: Mike Barrio on 27/11/2008 at 19:23
Hi folks :cool:

Kenny has come back onshore to find his fishing gear is no longer in the boot of his car! :shock

So ..... Can we all help to look out for his gear please :z17

We are looking for two of the new Barrio blue 5wt fly rods ( serial number 3 and serial number 4 ) and two Barrio fly reels :z5

His tackle bag of flies etc etc appears to have been stolen as well, but the Barrio tackle will hopefully be a little easier to spot at a fishery or on ebay etc ???

I hope we can help him to find his gear
Best wishes
Mike

PS: The rods look more or less the same as Barrio 3 wts, see http://www.fishingthefly.co.uk/barrio-fly-rods.html  (http://www.fishingthefly.co.uk/barrio-fly-rods.html) and the reels are like this http://www.fishingthefly.co.uk/barrio-trout-reel.html (http://www.fishingthefly.co.uk/barrio-trout-reel.html)

PS: Forgot to say that the rods will hopefully still be in the olive rod tubes ( no branding ) and tartan rod bags.

Cheers
Mike

Sorry to hear about this event ..... :mad

I have just try to have a look in the website 'GumTree', but for some reason the security in my work will not allow me to access the Aberdeen page, so maybe some else can try this. I had a look into the Edinburgh (just in case) but not sign of the gear.

I'll keep looking around...

Regards.

I understand that a majority of thefts in Aberdeen are drugs related and the favourite places to pass of the gear is the likes of Cash Converters etc. Might be worth a troll around these places for a look and also drop off the details to the local tackle shops.

I don't think the scum that has stolen this stuff will have the intelligence to use the internet for the likes of e-bay or gumtree  :mad
