I just started fly fishing less then a month ago and wanted to try my 8 year old at it. Of course I cant afford to go grab him a st Croix like mine until I see if he has the patience for it first. I found a Shakespeare 7 ft 4wt graphite rod while shoping at the local wallymart and was wondering if it was worth trying him on it?
I have a reel that was given to me that would do fine but im not sure what size the line is. Is there anyway to tell?
