A collected reel is small and expensive, a rod is long and breaks at the door. Hunting gear that is a weapon follows weapons law and the text on the [firearms collection](/artikel/schusswaffen-sammlung-sichern), not this paragraph. In the overview [Security for collectors](/artikel/sicherheit-fuer-sammler) this is about rods, reels, old baskets, knives only insofar as they are not a legal case.

## What gets ruined without a thief

A rod in a tube that someone knocks over, rust on the reel, dry leather on the basket, moths in the felt hat. You store dry, rods so that the door does not swing into them, reels without the wet line on them for years.

## When someone comes

The reel goes along in the drawer. It lies with the other small valuables when the price requires it, not in the open equipment shed. The list states maker and model. A knife you are unsure about, you clarify before you hang it on the wall "for the collection".

## The folder

Reels one by one, rods one by one, receipt for the expensive ones, photo. The shed is not a certified safe, only a roof.

## Häufige Fragen

### Is a hunting weapon included here?

No. It follows the gun cabinet guide and the authority's requirement.

### Reel in the certified safe?

If the price requires it, yes. It is small.

### Rod behind the door?

Then it breaks. Store it lengthwise, where nothing strikes it.
