My 2013 SX DMAX ute was stolen this morning from Australia 11 Drive crawly in Perth between 730 – 830am, (whilst i was fishing)
It had all my Saltwater fly gear in the back of the cab as im living with my girlfriend, the ute was essentially my shed.
Now I was insured so ill be able to recover some of the costs of the vehicle. If its recovered I could get my gear back . However I don’t consider this likely so all my salt gear is now gone.
Im going to list my tackle here as best as I can remember it just in case it turns up on a forum or ebay at some point and one you come across it. Its highly unlikely that the numb nuts who stole my ute have any idea what the gear is,(Nor whats its worth) but its still worth ago.
As follows
Rods
3 x Hardy Proaxis Rods – 8,9 and 11 weights.
1X Beulah Surf rod (11 ft 2 hander)
1X 12,6 TCX 7WEIGHT (The Death Star)
1x Silstar spin rod 11ft and egg beater loaded with spider wire
Reels
1X Colton 911 Torrent with spare spool both with lines (Lines were SA 350 Grain inter and a shooting head setup with an out bound inter head on the other spool.
1x Colton Terrapin 1012 with spare spool with no lines
1x Allan Kraken 4 with spare spool both with lines. Lines were a rio F/I on one and a SA Sharkwave floater on the spool both 9 weights.
1X shilton and spare spool. Both spools are black and the reel body is silver so its very distinctive. The lines are a SA tarpon inter and a High D shooting head (I think).
1x Blue Tibor 7-8 with Wulff lost tip
Theres also various fly and lure boxes including bits and pieces of normal gear and a blue gortex rain jacket.
Not looking for sympathy just asking for folks to keep an eye out on any weird postings pertaining to fly gear in their travels.
Also I had a potential trip planned to Exmouth In March, So I could be in the market for another 9 weight. I loved my Hardys and may fork out for a 9 proaxis before I go, but If anyone has a similar style of rod or set up and they are thinking of parting with it for a reasonable price let me know.
