Who We Are

Connecting People with the Joy of Fishing

We deliver quality fishing equipment right to your door — so you can spend more time on the water and less time preparing.

Our rental packages are designed for everyone: families on vacation, first-time anglers, and seasoned fishermen who just don't want to haul gear. We serve Pawleys Island, Litchfield, and DeBordieu.

This is a business built on a love of fishing and a love of this community. We hope to help you make memories here that last a lifetime.

"I started this business because I wanted everyone who visits Pawleys Island to experience the same joy of fishing I've shared with my own kids."

Meet the Team

A Pawleys Island Father and Son Bringing Outdoor Adventures to Life

Todd Rodenbeck has called Pawleys Island home for over 30 years. A local teacher, coach, and lifelong fisherman, Todd has spent countless hours fishing the creeks, marshes, and inlets that make this area so special. Over the years, some of his favorite moments have been teaching his own kids how to fish in these same waters.

Todd partnered with his son Ben to start Pawleys Fishing Rentals. Ben is an engineering student at the University of South Carolina and an avid outdoorsman who shares the same love for fishing and the outdoors.

Together, they created Pawleys Fishing Rentals after noticing that many families visiting the area wanted to experience fishing but didn't have the gear — or the local knowledge of where to go. Their solution was simple: deliver quality fishing equipment directly to your door and provide local tips that help make your day on the water successful.

Whether you're a first-time fisherman or an experienced angler, Todd and Ben's goal is the same — to help you spend less time figuring things out and more time enjoying the water. At Pawleys Fishing Rentals, we believe fishing should be easy, fun, and memorable for everyone.
