I agree, when you only have 1 day to get someone hooked and have an enjoyable day, and you're willing to pay for a guide you should be provided top notch gear. Control what you can, is always a good way to guide.
More or less I am just going along with what was posted earlier that when your resources are limited as they were for me when I was a beginner you use anything and everything I could find that was affordable and functional. The drive to fish outweighs the most frustrating days on the water, the people who love it will do it. I am grateful that the industry has more affordable brands and even certain high end brands have some very reliable, sturdy and yet still affordable gear. I also still use a grigg sometimes. [
