What casting rod/reel for teenage girl

[FlaGaitor]

I got the reel from Amazon - 142.18 Prime.  Still loving that combo...and so is my daughter when she is with me.  I really was going to make this just her combo, but it is way good of a setup to not take and use when I'm out alone.  I really like it.

Sorry I cant help with exact rod but I would look for something not overly sensitive if it is for a 14 year old girl

Sound s like a job for an old pistol grip Lightning rod . If you lived nearby I would give her one .

Was just about to recommend something like that. I just saw one in my local walmart this weekend.

 

Another option is to see if you can find a 5'5" rod and spincast combination and just swap off the spincast for the baitcast reel of your choice.  Unlike the pistol grip, which has no place for your other if necessary, it would have a little more in the butt end of the rod. I did this for my son when he was about 10. I think it was a zebco.  We were in a finesse mode at the time so I didn't need to go the baitcast route just yet at that time.  My daughter learned to use a bc reel when she was 6 so your daughter shouldn't have any problem. She's nearly 18 now but no longer has time to fish with the old man.

 

As for the reel, let her use one of yours, preferably a 100/101 sized one. Unless you need an excuse to buy a new reel you're justified of course, lol.

Now that is a combo sure to not wear out that little girl's wrist.  

 

P.S.  If you read FlaGaitor's last post on the 1st page, you will see he already bought the rod and reel for his daughter.  And a darn nice combo if I must say so myself.
