Unusual report this week! I’ll just explain why.
A good friend of mine who I’ve fished with hundreds of times has been diagnosed with a serious medical challenge. One that’s going to require a lot of expensive care. He has a huge collection of fishing tackle and I’ve been asked by his family to sell most of it, to defray the cost of his medical care. Readers on Facebook have responded magnificently, and last week over $4000 worth of gear was sold. But there’s so much to get through! Pricing is fantastic because almost everything is used and it’s gotta go. Thought I’d make this week’s report all about these offers, so our subscribers could take advantage of some top deals too. Just to be clear – every cent of anything you buy, goes to his family. So not only are you getting a bargain, but your purchase is for a good cause. To make a purchase, simply send payment to:
Here we go:









This is only a quarter of the tackle to be sold so keep an eye on our Facebook page? Thanks for reading and please get back to me if more pics or details are needed
