As Kim states, stolen fishing equipment is a big problem. Some of my gear I brought from Kim's shop new, that can't be stolen, but many other items of my tackle I brought second hand from eBay, plus other items out of some blokes garage I can not be 100% sure that it's legit
I'm going to ultra violet my tackle.
Some other tackle I brought from another shop new also, I can not be 100% sure those second hand items are legit I could have been buying stolen goods all my life and not have known it.
How are we meant to know this till it's to late and we've been knicked
