a buddy of mine had his house broke into and about 90% of his fishing and hunting(guns) stuff was taken.  i am going to send him some stuff i have handy to give away and just wanted to see if any of you could pitch in. my thoughts were if i could get each person to send 1 bait it would help to get him back on his feet. he has only a couple rods and reels left which are broken rods and reels they didnt take and he said he may not be able to tournament fish next year if he cant get everything replaced by jan-feb. he had about $3000-5000 taken from him which was several years worth of investing in gear. if you would like to help out please let me know. doug

You mean with that big list of companies you rep for, you can't hook the guy up?  Make him "pro-staff",lol

yes i am hooking him up with items from all the compaines i work for. he is a pro-staff for several companies i work for and they are sending him some items also. doug

Any insurance? Just curious.

no he did not have insurance to cover the items taken or household good that were stolen. doug

Sorry, I made all my fishing donations this year to an ol' boy in Texas who hasn't shown his face here in quite a while. His handle is Ikebass. Know him?

sure dont i am not even sure i have seen that name used any where else. doug

Contact your local BASS Federation Chapter. I am sure they will help or a least put it on the floor at their regional meetings and I would bet you could get some items from the guys. Good luck.
