The Matt Hayes bit is towards the bottom:

 

"TOP angling celebrity Matt Hayes is the latest fisherman to fall victim to thieves after his entire tackle collection was stolen in a raid at his Shropshire home."

i guess allot of the gear was sentimental,but i dont think he would;nt sruggle to be on the river on the openig day,three times i have had the honour to see him fish and not once was he using his own brand

That's a lot of tackle they have stolen.

 

Was he landing fish like he does on his programs?

I learned about this from Martin Bowler a while back.Don't matter who it is or if they pay for their tackle or not it still hurts. Scum for sure but in my mind the real scum are the "fellow anglers" who buy it,knowing full well that it must be dodgy.

i dont think it will be long before the theiving,t..ts are caught ,lets just keep our eyes open ,and dont buy gear off dodgy gets,who know nothing about what there sellingi remember john wilson telling a story on go fishing,he;d just nipped into his tackle shop,leaving his gear in the car ,came out, all of it gone,on his way back home for some more,a drunk walking down the mainroad with rods centerpins the lot,he never said what happend,but he got it back,its still surprises me on match days on the local canel,whats left in vehicles.ive seen tackle left in cars that cost more than the car

I remember Terry Hearn having stuff stolen inc a pair of rods with his name on. They turned up for sale in a local tackle shop and Dave Green recognised them and got them back for him! Totally off topic but Matthew had his bike stolen once and it turned up in a local second hand shop and I had to buy it off them!!!!
