INDIANANGLER

Gentlemen,

You have taken my comments in absolutely the wrong way .

My comment on safety of expensive fishing equipment is a general one
for anyone travelling internationally -- valuable items tend to attract
unwanted attention if one is not careful.

Besides this, there are plenty of occasions where I have felt uncomfortable (within
Australia) when using expensive gear .. nothing you can put a finger on.

I am sure plenty of other anglers will back me up with my concern.

Rest assured, I am still Indian and take every opportunity to tell everyone
(especially Aussies) of the marvellous angling to be had in our land.My family members have been Generals in the Indian Army, served with distinction and been the recipients of gallantry awards from the President.So I do not take any comments about India and
my lack of patriotism to it kindly.

I see that no one has replied to my query on Fox rods!!

Kingfish!

Tis the seaso of love, peace and harmony. I apologise for the reaction of a few of my angling friends. I am sure they took your comments in the wrong way. Yes there are places in every country where it is it wise to flash anything that looks desirable. It is wise to be safe than sorry.

Now back to the main topic - the FOX TRAVEL RODS. I have seen one (not a travel rod but a regular spinning outfit) with a friend and the rod looked very well constructed. He has been using the set up for some time and has never complained. What I did not like was the reel. It felt heavy and rough. But then this guy never really services the reel.

Cheers

Hi! Kingfish .
So sad to see what happend to ur querry. But if you were so concerend about travel issues with flashy equipment "My comment on safety of expensive fishing equipment is a general one
for anyone travelling internationally -- valuable items tend to attract
unwanted attention if one is not carefuls" it would be nice if you would mentioned it earlier when you began the post to avoid misunderstanding as said "It is wise to be safe than sorry" but from what you wrote it dose not sound it was about travel "(depending on how safe the locality is for expensive equipment)" . I would be happy to fish with you and if you are around Mumbai Pls PM me.

Ace-doc and mario,

Thank you for your kind offers and rest assured I will contact you when I visit your sides of the country.

Best wishes,

Kingfish
