re: Do you bring your own gear on a charter?

$10 per day, includes a hook and cork, $40 to have it cleaned after they dunk it while determining depth, replacement rod tips when they break them reeling a fish to tip, new line when they cast over one another and i cut 25 yds of new braid off.

I'll be honest, this would make me second guess your business. I'm not hating, just giving feedback.

My expectation for an inshore gulf coast spec and redfish guide from Tampa to Texas to have 8-10 spinning rods around $150 -200 each. Something like a penn battle 3 or shimano or diawa comparable.

The issue with charging for tackle is exactly what you got. Someone's going to bring garbage and then your ability to put them on fish is limited. That's just as much your policy's issue as their choice.
