If you put a sign up where you last had it, that can help also. A friend left his favorite Scott rod against a tree and drove off without remembering to put it away. He put up a sign knowing where he last had it. It took 6 weeks, but someone that only fishes that area once in awhile had found it and had no way of returning it until he read my buddy's sign. Rod/reel and angler now reunited. I hope you get it back.
