Dont Trust No One

1FASTLASER · 01-12-07, 09:44 AM

Well I had a BAD WEEK. Went to get a buynch of my rods out this last weekend....the ones that I would use for split shotting and drop shotting and all my kids rods and they were GONE. I had stole 14 rods and reels all the way from a GLoomis ($325) right down to a shakespere Intrepid rod with titanium guides on it. The approx. cost is around $1300. Talk about PO'D. Called the local cops and all they said was "well we can keep an eye out but..........." Real good cops we got down there. Called every pawn shop within a 50 mile radius but so far no luck. I am gonna be in the market for some rods for my kids. They or we lost all there rods and I need to get them a couple cause the season is right around the corner. If anyone has any in expensive rods and reels they wanna part with please give me a holler I gotta get them something together REAL quick and dont have the funds to by new right now. Looking for 6' to 6'6" Medium heavy rods and low profile reels. Shipping would be to Flippin Arkansas. So ifn ya have anything please give me a holler. Thanks folks

1FASTLASER · 01-12-07, 09:50 AM

Thanks buddy. Ifn ya know the whereabouts of any lemme know.

skeeter944 · 01-12-07, 09:51 AM

ok,i sure will. oh,do your kids like righthanded reels or left handed reels,i know this one guy who doesnt like his left hand reels and they are extreme reels from bass pro.

Will have to check on that. Dont know if it will cover it being as I was in Crossett and the home is in Flippin. Thanks for the heads up will give em a call.

Skeeter shoulda mentioned that, one of them can use either and the other is a righty only. Thanks again bud.

I had the boat in a slip at Big Bear on Ky. Lake, all the insurance wanted was a copy of the police report to compare what value I told them the rods were, the make and model, then 4 days later I got a check (less 250 deductable)..I figured I had 5 rods that were worth 1500 and I got a check for 1250..
I heard from others in my bass club that their insurance paid them to, but didn't give much for tacklebox/contents..good luck to ya!

skeeter944 · 01-12-07, 03:14 PM

ok laser,i will talk to the guy who has it and see what he's asking for it,and i will probably pm or something.

bassnman30 · 01-12-07, 05:32 PM

Where did you have the rods at ?
In your boat, in a car,on a pier...?

1FASTLASER · 01-12-07, 05:39 PM

I am staying in a travel trailer in crossett arkansas where I work and the family lives in Flippin. Anyways the travel trailer we have right next to his mom and dads old house trailer. We use that for storage and thats where they come up stolen from. I have a call into my insurance man but I have my doubts.

skeeter944 · 01-12-07, 08:49 PM

ok laser,i just got off the phone with that guy with the lefthand reel,its last years bps extreme with a 6.4:1 gear ratio,its in really good condition,practicly brand new. it doesnt have the box or papers,hes asking $65,what do you think?

BPACA · 01-12-07, 08:51 PM

I think you should go to bps and pic one of those up for 48 if your looking for that instead of 65.....

texasbasser · 01-12-07, 08:53 PM

Yea, they are 48 bucks right now...

skeeter944 · 01-12-07, 09:09 PM

oh,i forgot that. definitly do that,the guy wants way to much. go to bps and pick abunch of thsoe reels up laser,they are the best!

lizardsrule · 01-12-07, 09:10 PM

PM me your addy. I don't have any rods, but I'm sure I could get something for ya.

Laser-check your PM.

WTL · 01-13-07, 03:38 AM

Laser, I am sorry to hear of your loss. I had something similar - at least on a scale to me - happen last year. Fishing is a special pursuit; while there is a lot of skill involved there is also an element of luck or even mysticism involved. Perhaps if this world is just and governed by a simple fisherman, then anyone who would steal another man's tackle should be sentenced to years of empty creels. Unfortunatly I can't say whether or not that is fact or wish on my behalf. But do know that there have been many people who have been in your shoes, and they feel the same way.

fastlaser ,i will check my garage .i think i might have a couple of reels for you.can i still send it to the same address you gave me before?both of them are right hand cranks. p.s nice seeing you on the board again. your buddy bassdreamer.

texasbasser · 01-16-07, 08:52 PM

fastlaser, you got a guy to help you out. mikesluckylures.

flbassman · 01-17-07, 11:13 PM

Should be shipping in the next two weeks....sorry bout the wait.

1FASTLASER · 01-21-07, 06:36 PM

Well I shoulda read the fine print on my insurance. I guess if I was a dishonest man I coulda told them the rods and reels where stole on my property and they woulda covered it. Well not only am I looking for another or better insurance company I also upped my coverage on my boat. If something like this happenes again I will be covered in ay event. Hopefully this wont be the case.
