Top water frogs are really good for beginners, because they can really see what the lure is doing, they are super weedless, and they're really fun. Put 20-50lb braid on whatever she is using and cinch the drag down as far as itr goes (even if it's a lighter spinning or Zebco 33). I used to catch huge redfish and trout with a mini-spin combo, so don't worry if the combo can take it. And the thing about not setting hooks, first time a decent bass crashes that frog she'll catch on pretty quick.
