it's cheap and do-able
Good idea. really good idea. Tell us more.

We could find a way to do this through the site and raise some $$ for it as well.

This would be nothing but positive for everyone but thieves.

Agree. Great Idea... Some sort of small chips with GPS positioning hidden inside your rod. Should look into this more... That way you catch them with your equipment red handed..

well....it was just me thinking out loud ....

here's a website....with portable scanners for around 199.00
and some views of the chips themselves...
http://www.gaotek.com/index.php?main...FRyPFQodA30_6A
biomark has been utilizing this technology for tracking fish,birds even amphibians....

what would be so cool....is to set up our own sting operation though... purpously leaving some (not so great) bait rods in
in a pickup and watch the theives steal them.... look at how
fast it happened to BIGBO ...we're talkin about minutes.

any retailer now uses this technology....

what would be cool though is to have s-b tags.....to put inside the rods ... glued in...(built in) so they can't be shaken out...

then the rods are scanable.... even from a distance...
there are other issues to be discussed though.....like being able
to track a fisherman to their spots.... but .....what would be cool
is when s-b was notified that someone was trying to sell a stolen rod... leading to a whole garage full of stolen rods.

i've read articles where computerized vehicles drive thru neigborhoods determining what products are in households...
so it's time fishermen avail themselves of this technology so that
thieves won't be able to get away with it anymore.
