I've never heard of a charter guide that didn't include gear, tackle, and bait in the price of the charter.

If you're dealing with beginner level clients who probably buy their fishing gear from Walmart, I can see why they'd want to bring their own shite. In their view, your $10 daily rental fee is 20-25% of the cost of them just buying an Ugly Stik combo that they get to keep and reuse.

For inshore charters, I'll bring 1 or 2 of my own rods because I prefer baitcasters. And my setups are probably on par with the quality of the guide's personal gear.
