Your fresh water gear will never look the same after salt water use, is not made for it my friend, and gear on the charter boats is of a good quality, some salt water terminal tackle that they can keep, as well as good fishing line, gloves, or gifts for their families, is a good tip.
" The gear was not good. Third line was a wire, tied to a home made snubber and then a rope. I was told to hold on to the end." This is my favorite way to fish for a big wahoo. This time of the year they are deep, and leaded rope is one of the ways to get to them. Tips from guys are right on. Stay well and have fun out there.
