If you travel a lot with your bass boat and spend numerous nights in hotels rooms you can not overlook the security of your equipment. We use the loc r bar boat security system to protect our most valuable items like electronics and rods and reals. I really like this system as it detours criminals but also has the added feather of the option detecting lock that lets out a big siren if the there is eccessive movement of the lock. When you are not hooked up to your rig be sure to make it difficult for a thief to hook to your boat. I take the pin out of the swing away tongue and drop a padlock in the hole. As a rule remember out of site out of mind. Store things in solid colored plastic bins and under coats and jackets. Always park in well lit areas that have good visibility from main roads. Last of all be sure your items are insured. Don't assume all your items are will be covered by your current insurance policy. Call your insurance agent to discuss. I take photos of all my rods, reels, electronics and tackle at the beginning of the year in case there is a issue. It is much easier to remember what you had if you have a photo for reference.
