A mate had his alarmed garage smashed into and he lost a lot of top end gear. He was with Lloyds and said he couldn't fault them as they paid up to £5000.
I was with one insurance company (can't remember who because they deserve to be named and shamed) but when my garage was broken into, they took my bag containing some gear. They took details of what was stolen and offered to replace them but my Avon scales were to be replaced by a set of little sampsons which aren't in the same league and everything else was to be the "budget" option. Luckily I had written my name and phone number on the inside flap of the rucksack and I had a phone call a few days later as it had been dumped intact, expect the £20 emergency fund I kept in there.
Unfortunately you don't know how good your policy is until you claim. Check out some on-line reviews to if a Company is any good.
Best advice is to fit a decent lock and alarm system and hope you don't ever need to claim.

Most home insurance dont cover you away from the house and usually exclude you
In the car van etc
On the bank asleep
Always check it's new for old as some only give you the value is worth at the time

Anglers First Insurance - No idea if any good, but found them recently online. Think it's the same company Golf Guard use.

Thats why i chose this company. Its specific for angling so covers you on more stuff than general home insurance cover
just checked my policy the main points are, covered from van theft as long as it was locked, bank theft as long as i sleep 3 metre or less from my stuff, and 6 grand worth from shed theft

Did you have to list/prove what tackle you have for the policy? Some want receipts of purchases but I don't have any receipts

You have to list any individual item over 500 quid, other than that no. Most of my big stuff is/was bought online so I would have an email receipt some where if I needed it

In the result of a claim you have to provide receipts. You don't have to provide them to take the policy out though.
Always read all of the policy details thoroughly.

Hi just to say that my name is John, part of the reason for joining this forum is that I am a director at Anglers First Insurance (www.anglersfirstinsurance.co.uk) which is part of Golfguard Ltd, a specialist sports insurance company. We are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and have been selling fishing insurance for quite a few years now. Someone took up our insurance today who said they found out about us through Carp Forum so I thought it would be a good idea to sign up and see if anyone had any questions. If anyone ever does have anything please feel free to post and I will happily reply and follow up. Best of luck to everyone in the meantime in these difficult times.
