rods

heya

just a matter of intrest

if you found a rod on the bankside would u keep it or would you try and find the owner ??

thanks jack

[mullet-fisherman]

all depends, i ticked yes

i would keep the rod beside me whilst im fishing and if the owner asked for it i would be more than happy to give it to him

I wouldn't take it or keep it, cause any Angler that has a rod worth having would not leave it on the bank, no way!! and if they did it would be rubbish or broke !! and not worth having anyway............

I voted no.

If i find any gear and there is a fishery cabin or office around i would hand it in to them.

I know i would appreciate it if ever i had lost any gear and it had been handed into the office for a safe return to its owner.

The other thing with picking up other peoples tackle or a rod if found is alot of gear these days have invisable coding on them that can only be detected in a uv light and some i've been told rods that is are chipped!! like our pet dog might be !! don't blame people for doing so as some rods are into the £500 mark these days and most have a set of three.........so best to leave or hand in i think...
