*Optional - There are several brands and models of great rods and reels to choose from. They all work great. This list is a basic guideline for what to bring aboard Intrepid.  To forgo the expensive cost of outfitting for a trip,  we have Seeker Rods and Avet reels for you to use as loaners.  You pay a line fee for each line fill up similar to tackle shop rates.  Please contact our Intrepid Office if you need to borrow any loaner gear.
