Thread: King Mackerel rod & reel combo rental?

Thanks to the guys at J&Ms for the specs . Got some good info there that fit the gear we had . First spec for myself and my son. Fun on an ultralight rod.

I like the idea, it's aggravating to transport my 8-9 ft rods the six hour ride to G.S.

My first time posting...

I have been exploring this site as I plan for my trip (from Wisconsin) in late March to early April. I have since learned of the rod set up I can bring down, one I can purchase specifically for the pier, the bucket set-up I'll need, the cooler, the cart, etc.

However, I obviously will not be showing up with all of this (although most). I have been a bit surprised that at least a cart rental is not avaialble. Nevertheless, with my Great Lakes shore fishing gear, I'm sure I'll make due.

So, my vote is "Yes", I would rent much of the gear if made available. Heck, if I could get most, if not all gear, for less than a charter, it's worth it.

I would at least require a 100 dollar refundable deposit upfront just incase. Plus the 50 then you get your money back almost if they tear it up. JMHO

or if they run off with it and not return it. :spank:

Y'all leave the logistics part to me. A person getting a $100 deposit on a $300 combo would loose his :moon: in no time. Thanks for the input,were going to put a few together.

I like this idea. The surf rod rental really seems perfect for me. We stay out near Ft. Morgan when we visit. I would want one for the week, it's a good haul from out there to J&M's. Someone mentioned
storage lockers at the pier. You can bet that would be hit with with some.

A credit card and a DL is more than sufficient 99% of the time on rentals, that's what most people do. If they don't bring it back, they just bought a new rod and reel. If the card is declined that's considered theft so you report it, and write it off with losses. It would be cool if you could set up sort of an intro package where people can get a lesson in fishing too. Speaking as someone who is a long LONG ways a way, and will likely have to take a plane to get back, a rental option would be great. Would really love if you not only had king gear but lighter gear, and surf rods too.
