Anybody know where I can find some used equipment?
 

I just discovered my shed was broken in to and all my tackle is gone. I don't even know when this happened as I haven't even gone out to it in months.
Some of the stuff was old and out-dated anyway but I wasn't really thinking about dropping another several hundred dollars on tackle.
Anyway, I had 2 custom rods, one with a Daiwa Sealine, it was the smaller one for up to 30lb I think and the other had a Newell on it. I'd like to find something comparable to these if possible.

Everything else is needed as well. I'm looking for deals...Please let me know.

Thanks!

Huh?
From the post you replied to:

"Anyway, I had 2 custom rods, one with a Daiwa Sealine, it was the smaller one for up to 30lb I think and the other had a Newell on it. I'd like to find something comparable to these if possible."

Here.

Just wait on this forum people post their used equipment all the time.

Hit up craigslist....ive got 2 rods and 2 reels i got from craigslist all quality stuff at good prices. just check it on the regular. Also i would suggest checking bloodydecks classified section as i have seen some good deals on used Cal-star rods and nice reels as well.


hit up T-bone...hes broke, you need gear. everybody wins

That is some funny s**t right there. Telling brokeloser to buy t-bones gear cause t-bone's more broke than brokeloser.

When I started fishing the kayak I was an unemployed broke loser so I just picked up a couple of penn 500 combos on sale at sports authority. That might be an option for ya.

haha didnt even realize the irony in that....thanks for pointing it out though.

you can definitely find decent stuff if you put in the time lookin for it. good luck.

Funny

Sort of

I had to walk off a job because I havent been paid in 3 weeks...

Actually that is pretty damn funny!

haha nah man wasnt tryin to poke any fun at your misfortune... my dad spent the last 2 years on unemployment and has recently just started getting back into working self employed doing carpentry and general contracting gigs. Luckily he has a friend in commercial and residential painting otherwise he was about to sell his garage full of tools. Easily probably over 25,000 dollars worth of tool purchases over the last 30 years. Ive seen first hand how people in your field have been affected. Its tough. Good luck to you man, hope you find something so you dont have to get rid of all your gear.

T-Bone,

I know you've heard this a million times but... Usually these things work out okay, but I understand that its tough when it's happening. Been there myself recently. What kind of work to you do? Maybe somebody here could give you a lead...

In the meantime, hope you can take advantage of the time to do some fishing.

I am a finish carpenter with my C6 licence for Doors-Cabinets-Millwork.I have a great job coming up at Disney.Just have a few weeks till that starts.My last 4 months of taxes were not paid last year by my last hourly employer who also owes me for 3 weeks of work.I just turned in some billing for about $4K in work but that check will be a few weeks out too.

I do Cabinets(build or install)

Trim work of any kind Crown moulding,base, case,Chairrail, wainscot

Cabinet refacing

Mantles

Stairs

Doors of ANY type mild to wild.Will postpics of the last door I did for disney.

Quick story with the last door.

The original set of arched doors was a 60" opening with a pair of 30" doors.This is not an ADA compliant opening.The new door is 36" with 12" sidelights and a rixon floorcloser.What made this so difficult to install is that the original jamb stayed and the new door was scribed into the old opening.This is at the Village haus in fantasyland.This is a $22K door.All handmade and aged by flame and scrape.That was in Dec 2010.

Cool. Next time I'm up there I'll need to check out your work. Could be a few years yet...

The other pic is my truck in front of Its a small world.Not often you get that parking spot.

That is a nice skill to have

Check out e-bay also. In the last month I have purchased 2 Diawas and Pfluger reel for about $50 each.

Keep your eyes open and you can find some sweet deals.

nice
 

i was in d-land in dec with my kids and now i understand why that part of the park was closed. nice work and i look forward to taking a closer look at it the next time i am there.

Disney is a crazy place to work.Background check,Check your truck for bombs...

I had to tell them "I am the bomb..."

D.B.Cooper couldnt have hijacked a thread better than I have:cool:

Dam T bone thats a bad ass parking spot, and the door is ok to. :notworthy:

what was this thread about again? oh yeah now I remember,
I work in a machine shop and people are always asking me if I know any carpenters, wtf go figure? I will pass their info on to you next time someone asks.

Sucks
 

Growing up in lb me and my dad had plenty of stuff stolen. My dad moved us out to Fontana, and had the house broken into.... Sucks bigtime! I got a new west marine bass rod rated from 10-20 and a used seeker inshore rated 6-15 yOu can have. For thirty pound, I got a Newell 332 for $80 bucks. I got a good yo-yo set up all let go for $140. (calstar wc 665c 20-50 and new condition sealine 40 4.9.1. Let me know if your intrested.

hey BL,

I got a penn 506 (narrow super jigmaster, 5:1. don't make them anymore, but they are very nice reels) and penn power stick (7', 15-40lb, nothing fancy but a decent glass stick) that I haven't used in like years. they're both in good shape. reel is filled with 25# I think, maybe 30#. killed many an albacore on them many years ago so I know they work. weird you know, you have gear that works great, but you buy all kinds of new crap because, well, you do. and that old gear that works great just sits because, well, who knows. and it's sad. ain't a thing wrong with them but I'm too stupid to know it or use them, had to go out and get all that shiny blingy crap. don't matter what I got 'cause I can't fish worth a damn anyways.

now, if I offered it for free, that'd insult you or at least be sort of condescending making me look like I was doing some kind of mother theresa shit, and I don't do that. and you wouldn't want that. besides peoples around here might get the wrong impression about me, 'cause I got this "he's an asshole" reputation to uphold :D:D:D

so, let's just say you buy me a FH ticket and we call it even. we can meet down there or something like that. I get to take my boys to FH and you get to kill some fish. I can post pics or something if you'd like.

Hey, I second that :biggrinjester:

Rob on a more serious note, when we goin fishin?

That 506 is a rad reel, very cool of you Rob.

Now days with all the fancy Shimano and Daiwa and Avets out there Penn and Newells dont get very much attention. Still some of the best gear out there and maintaining/ repairing these is cheap and easy.

Awww.... shucks I thought I was the asshole, and you had the big ass hole :biggrinjester:

On a more serious note when are we three going fishing?

damnit jim, that was supposed to be our secret :sifone::sifone::sifone:

as for fishing, hopefully soon. i'll give you a call or pm or something.

and gary, I got the prowler 13 you can always borrow. for a reasonable fee :D:D

I can hook you up on some used gear for a good price. I buy used rods, reels, and tackle @ yard sales and swap meets. So if your not to picky and want something that will work, i can sell you some set ups for what i paid. I have more than I need, so let me know.

Sweeeeat!, I may want to go as soon as the weather and water clear.

Some secret.... he keeps posting pics of that big ass hole all over the web. :biggrinjester:

Castiac and DVL have been kicking out some quality..
