Frequently Asked Questions

There is no difference in quality whether you rent or buy fishing equipment, so you can’t go wrong either way. Although, we do believe that there are definitely a few solid reasons that people would benefit from renting fishing gear instead of buying it. For instance, perhaps you are traveling to South Florida without fishing gear but would still like to try fishing our waters without having to purchase cheap rods and reels. Or for the avid local anglers with boats who want to try a few new fishing techniques without the big investment. Maybe you are an expert or tournament angler who needs a few extra combos or electrics to compete with the pro teams. Whatever the reason may be, we want you to trust in us to supply you with quality gear to get you that trophy catch without spending thousands of dollars.
