If You Drop a Charter Rod Overboard?

Now that is funny.They won't give ins. on lost equip.Factor in lost equipment into the tremendous price we charge?We barely make a living.A mate losing a customers rod is 1 in a million.That is why we use decent but not super expensive rods and reels.You can bring a broken rod back but one that went overboard is gone for ever.By your own equipment if you are a real fisherman and if you go once a year don't loose the charter or PB boat rod.If the rod breaks the reel is satill there.That is on the charter or pb,but not overboard!
