The owner who apart from being a TFF member is also a very good friend is is obviously dejected but is now sadly resigned to the loss. I have persuaded him to at least supply me with a picture of the reel though just in case it surfaces again.
The reel was made by Gary Mills two or three years ago and is based on one of his standard designs with added customer input . It is a deep green colour.
Significantly there is personalised "Birthday Related" wording engraved on the back plate. Gary Mills mentioned that this somewhat reduced the reel's value . However in this situation it could prove
very useful for identification!
Equally if anyone is offered a Gary Mills reel with signs of having engraving removed bells should ring.
The theft occured in East Sussex but who knows where the reel is now.
The bag it was in also contained general terminal tackle and a couple if cheap ,lightweight modern fixed spool reels.
Any help or information would be appreciated.
