View Full Version : Stolen Fishing Gear...
Hi Guys
My car was broken into outside my house on Saturday night 10/05 in west pymble.
I had been fishing with my mate Steve in pittwater and got home about 1am, as I was pretty tired I left the three spin sticks I had with me in the car....bad move.
The thieves smashed my drivers side window, ripped most of my dash out to get the stereo and stole the three rods as well.
It's a long shot but if anyone hears of cheap gear for sale or sees any of it on ebay please let me know...
Combo 1-
Shimano Stradic 2500fi
Shimano Stella spin SFS 6'6" 2 piece 2-4kg (carbon fibre look)
10lb yellow fireline
Combo 2-
Shimano Symetre 2500fa
Shakespeare Ugly Stick 6'6" 1 piece 2-4kg (black, blue bindings)
12lb dark green maxima mono
Combo 3-
Shimano Sahara 1500fb
Shimano Starlo Stix 7' 2 piece 2-4kg (bright blue)
8lb yellow fireline
I'll try and get some pictures up later...
Cheers
Tony

Tony thats bad news mate---same thing has happened to myself years ago, I had a couple of grand of windsurfing and surfing gear nicked....I got it all back as the guy who stole it pawned it all at a nereby pawnbroker.....Be sure to provide the cops with serial numbers of your reels if you still have the boxes and check out the pawn stores thats where they will probably try and get rid of the stuff at!
Good luck mate

mate that sucks, unless they like fishing they will turn up in pawn shops theres one in dy that heaps on fishing gear turns up in, ill keep an eye out for ya.
Thanks for all your kind words guys...
no_idea- that would be great mate, if you could let me know if you see anything that might fit the description, I'm happy to pay to get it back.
moses- unfortunately mate the car is not insured, as it was parked on the street home and contents insurance doesn't cover it...
Bad luck about the gear. :ranting2:
However, these clowns got what they deserved:
