Micro chips help in the
return of your stolen or lost tackle
Micro chipping service for your
new or existing rods and tackle
Tackle thieves don't care about the upset they cause you when
they
steal your tackle. The ruined holiday or fishing trip you may have had
planned. Or the cost of replacing expensive items that you had probably
saved hard for. To them it's just a few quid down the pub. Recently, on
one of the major web forums, an angler reported the theft of some
£6500 worth of equipment. Fellow anglers sent their
sympathy of course and suggested that the angler should 'keep an eye
out at Boot Sales and the like'!
Even if you see a rod, pole or
other piece of equipment, that you could
swear was yours, at a boot sale, can you prove it? A microchip
can!
Now you can, inexpensively, go a
long way towards preventing theft by
having your tackle identified by the police and hopefully returned to
you. Sussex Police say:-
"Any initiative that can assist in
reducing crime is welcome but where
theft of property does occur, your product will undoubtedly facilitate
the return of the items to their rightful owner".

How the system works
At the time of hand building your rod a micro chip,
not much
larger than a grain of rice, is implanted. This microchip carries the
information that, when scanned , will identify you as the rightful
owner. Once your unique identifier is set in the chip it is unalterable
and placed on the database. Your tackle also carries a hard to
remove label that shows that your equipment is chipped and should deter
theft. All police forces have the scanners that read the chips and link
to the database.
