    What type of rod and reel did you start your young anglers off with?

     

    I started my 2 girls off with the kids spincasting combos. The type with the cartoons on them.(Barbie, Spongebob, Dora, Disney Princess. That type)

     

    For the young anglers: what rod and reel did you start out with?

    My daughter started with a snoopy combo. That lasted one outing. I upgraded her to a better spin casting combo that I could use when she needed a play break.

    I was talking to a guy yesterday who starts his kids with an underspin reel on an ice fishing rod. The idea has merit. Tom
