i've got about a dozen snapper/rig setups i'd like to get rid of, in varying degrees of cleanliness and repair. most are tekotas on 5.5' or 6' standup rods, theres some bigger stuff as well. they are well used, and will need a good strip & cleaning at minimum, but they all have caught a bunch of fish

does anyone know of a veterans' group or fishing charity i can contact? i'm in hammond & BR

You may be able to reach out to your local VFW Post and see if any of those guys would be interested.

Maybe one of those "Bring a Kid" fishing groups?

I usually donate my old gear to the neighborhood kids but it's lighter inshore outfits

Look up “wounded war heroes “. We take donations from people and give to veterans all the time

I’d be interested in learning more about the Bring A Kid Fishing outfit.

Fishing is my 12 year old Godson’s passion and it’s truly a gift from above for him.

An escape and passion. Thanks for any help. Thanks for donating your rods to people that really need it!

Are you friends with my buddy the charter captain turned treeman? I saw he posted on FB that he had a friend with a bunch of rods and reels he was looking to move.

My son's just getting started out in the offshore game and would buy them.

Do you have a local scout troop that would/could take it?

I’ll pick them up tomorrow and take a bunch of free loader friends. One is a veteran.

I’ll monitor the thread. Good on you!
