Right lads, just putting some feelers out ATM to see if there would be any interest in my cod gear. I'm thinking of packing in winter fishing with a baby on the way in the next few weeks. I'd be looking to sell it altogether. I've got a metal banded Kompressor sport in good condition with a new abu griplock reel seat. A 525 mk2 in good condition, 525 slidey, (my back up reel) Slosh 30. shakespeare seat box with full breakaway convertion kit, and a fair amount of terminal tackle. If I was to sell up, I would be looking for £350. Any genuine intrest, shoot me a PM.
 
£350 seems a good price but you may struggle to sell as a job lot and might be better off selling seperate! You may even get more money that way!
I personally would say:
Rod 160
Mag2 75
Mag 60
Slosh 45
Box 40
So theres 380 without the tackle

I don't know your financial situation but I would say don't sell the gear unless you have to. Put it away and it's there when you need it:)
 
imagine the scene, there is an amazing sea on, just dropped down after a big blow the tide is perfect, reports of big fish coming in already. kid is in bed, it's either fishing for a few hours before bed and maybe have a session of a lifetime, orrrrr eastenders or something equally rubbish to melt your brain away.
i know which i would pick. eastenders! lol jk
good luck whatever you do but if your short on cash id sell the majority of it, but keep enough so you can sneak away if the opportunity arises.
 
I didnt start sea fishing til I had my first one. Needed to get out of the house to keep my sanity. Keep a rod n reel n a few rigs n weights if I were u
 
Have you considered selling the rod and 2 of the reels and the box and then buying a cheaper rod and a rucksack so you can still go if you ever want to?
 
Mate, I drifted away from fishing in the early eighties but I still kept my old ABU gear never thinking I would use it again but I have just started fishing again after 30 years and I am enjoying using my old gear more now than I did then, now I can't get enough ! Hang on to your gear you will use it again ...
 
Aright lads, cheers for the replies. I pretty much got the reaction I was expecting :red: I've decided to sell the kompressor and 525 mag2 and keep the rest of my gear. I've got an accelerator mk1 left so i'll have that to lash around if I do fancy getting out for a bit. I fly fish for salmon aswell so it's not as if I was packing in fishing altogether. I've got me golf clubs there aswell so I do have another escape road to go down if I need to get oot the hoose, lol. Just need someone to play golf with :D
 
Keep it mate u will be gutted wen ya would like yo use it wen its gone. Just store it away. I think aboot it al time but I just carnt do it. Wudnt dare love winter fishing me.:)
 
been down that road mate put ya gear away and forget about it untill your back on ya feet selling it will only be a quick fix , jamcod
