Someone I know from years back had all their kit stolen. They could not go fishing for a couple of years. Last year I sourced some kit from the TackleBox for him. It's sat at my house for more than a year and has never been picked up. As well as what is in the photos, I have line, hooks & other terminal tackle to add. Plus 2 x Darent Valley 11ft 2.25lb rods.

This is a perfect little set up for a junior, or any CarpForum member who is struggling. You don't need to say here, just send a PM. First to ask who needs it can have it.

There are two brand new alarms. Two reels, rod & tip top straps, rod carrying straps. Four good quality camlock sticks. Two x rods, and a bunch of terminal tackle including line. All you need to do is arrange collection.

The Box generously give away so much stuff to juniors all of the time via the DDAP's club kids fish in days and similar ventures. It's good quality gear that will help someone, or a kid starting out. I asked if they would like it back, very kindly they said give it to someone who needs it or a kid starting out.

PM if you are in that situation.

Nah I'm a horrible **** really, like my podcaster fans tell me on here.

It's all a ruse really just for some continued good karma. I had to pay ten bags for my operations on Friday. I've taken ten bags, plus an extra £500 off bet365 since Saturday. Need that good luck to continue. It's nice to be nice sometimes. Karma pays you back.

Thank you all for the kind words all four of you. It's very much appreciated xx

The gear is still available. It will make a lovely present for some young lad someone knows out there. I will pay for delivery.

Really good of you to offer this - hope it goes to someone that'll enjoy it and not just flog it for a quick gain (I'm always a pessimist!)

Mark if you've had no takers. Could I suggest Less Webbers Angling projects. I'd thought they would be happy to take it of your hands. They have a website if you need more info.

No problem it's his Chippie. Please message his, or your full name and delivery address to our work mobile via WhatsApp. I will PM you the number now.

I have a rod tube to send the rods in too. I'm back in the UK Friday. So can send next weekend if that is okay. Not fair to ask people at work to pack those rods etc. Better that I do that.

I hope he will go on to love our past time & put the stuff to great use.

So why are you employing cheap cowboy builders all of the time?

Just pay for some quality tradesmen in the first place money bags

That's why you people are rich in the first place, innit
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
