greggie1 Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 I am wanting to get a rod and reel for my 6 year old nephew, I am wanting something that is a quality outfit that is simple to use and won't frustrate him. I am looking to make this an enjoyable experience for him so I can have a little fishing buddy. Wanting something better then a little snoopy rod and reel, anyone have any suggestions? Hope everyone had a safe and happy new year. Thanks Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted January 1, 2010 Super User Posted January 1, 2010 A Zebco 33 combo will do it. That has been the top-of-the-line beginner outfit for many generations. It's the equipment of choice for the B.A.S.S. Casting Kids contests. Quote
uicdent11 Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 Core 50Mg and a Loomis GLX. If you start with the Zebco 33, he will want to upgrade in the future. Quote
Super User bilgerat Posted January 2, 2010 Super User Posted January 2, 2010 I taught my daughters to fish with the Zebcos. Always a combo kit on sale somewhere. Quote

Sherlock 60 Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 I went through several brands of spincasting reels for my grandson and friends who don't fish much and finally settled on the Abumatic. I now have three of them and they have been flawless. Get an Abumatic combo. Quote
