Hope know one minds me posting this here.

2 very good friends mine ,tom and dan who are co-owners of cotswold rods. Had 2 of their premises broken into sometime btween friday and saturday of this weekend .below is a list of the items stolen including one of sets of custom built carp rods. if anyone should be offered or hear of anything please pm me in the strictest confidence.

Thanks Colin


3 FMA 13fts
5 R1s
5 Halcyons
3 Torrixs
3 x Pace range rods
1 landing net with tiny Cotswold block


all the rods and net are very unique, and would have to go to a rod builder for de-customisation before going on sale anywhere.


The stuff below is Toms own fishing tackle


large carryall full of tackle box,
Custom nevilles,made with ATT back and machined ears to look like standard ones - brand new
prolite sticks,
att reveiver,
hookbaits etc
3 black simano Aerlex reels
Aerlex spod reel
2 x emblems
trakker NXG luggage
3 x shimano baitrunners
Wychwood Solace HD brolly - brand new
 
scum bags

please keep your eyes peeled on free papers, flea bay and tackle trader

hope you get a result.

I saw 2 reels ( shimano 3500 ) that I wanted on flea bay at a very good price but there was only pathetic excuses for no spare spool no boxes no instructions hence I did not buy them!

regards john

If there 3500b's they never came with spare spools a bit like the 4000d's.
Good luck with finding the stolen gear will keep a look out myself.
 
For those on Facebook there's a page called carp tackle trader which is alot busy than the tackle trader website there's quite a few members but admin keep it right and get rid of all the shockers but I will still keep an eye out!!
 
cheers chaps ive put on the FB tackle trader forum ....the absolute bottom line is ,that if people didnt buy these 'bargains' there would be no demand to supply
