I checked a few down in Shallote and little river, did not see any offshore tackle. Will keep checking for you.

Man I'm sorry to hear that amigo. I've got a couple of Penn 80's on bent butt rods you can borrow if you need a planer rod. Spooled up with 100 lb Ande Big Game in bright green, because I'm blind as a bat! LOL! I'll keep an eye out for your gear, but posting pics if you have them might help.

Great news. Maybe they will send them to spend a little time with the boat thieves currently residing at Dept. Of Correction in Lumberton

I have gotten back 12 of the 19 rods that were stolen this time, 0 of the 4 rods that were stolen in September. Other 11 have allegedly been sold. Will post details on crook #2 once he is booked. If you bought a rod from thief #1, Parker Legwin in the last 6 months, it may be one of mine! Check out this link to my planer rod he swiped in September

The other thief posted my items for sale on a few facebook sites, like Wilmington's BIGGEST Online Yard Sale. Hit the link and scroll down a little bit and you'll find my Avet (with matching serial numbers) and my TLD 25's

If you bought these items, or anything else from Tyler Owen Smith recently, it is probably stolen.
