San Jose del Cabo customs

[hpetrakis]

Me and my fishing partner are flying into San Jose Del Cabo this Thursday November 19th. We’ve heard about customs in SJD charging a tax for flyreels, not being allowed to carryon flylines or reels if they have flylines on them and having too many rods. Just wondering if anyone had any experiences on San Jose del Cabo recently regarding this.

You can only bring 4 rods and 4 reels into Mexico, anything extra can get a terrif, also spools count as a reel. When you get to customs, you push a button to either get searched or passed on your way.

We just had a group of 8 go down and everyone went through fine!

I had all rods and reels in my checked bag with lines on the reels, and backup lines in the bag as well.

Getting out of Cabo with your tackle in your carry on has varied for me on what they will allow. Hooks, reels with line may need to go in checked bag to bring home.
